It is now 30 years since Carmen Martinez von Bülow boarded the train with her German class from high school to go to Frankfurter Buchmesse. What she remembers from this special trip to this day: Her poem speaks volumes!

Heading back by train
Carmen Martínez von Bülow lives in Munich with her husband and two sons. In 2020, Susanna Rieder Verlag published her first book: „In Search of the Golden Shell: The Way of St. James for Children through Bavaria“ (Hall 3.0 / G83).
Congratulations!
With her poem (untitled), Carmen Martínez von Bülow took part in the Frankfurt Book Fair's 75 Stories campaign via Instagram in September. Like her, all winners will receive two weekend tickets for #fbm23 and also an anniversary chair after the fair.
