Several of Adèle Weers's poems are published in dedicated anthologies and magazines in the USA. In 2021, her Renshi project was selected for the Scientific Conference (T)ERROR on Tour hosted by the Institute for Urban Research, Malmö, Sweden. This state of the art multimedia performance has been included in the global Renshi database establ. by Prof. Eduard Klopfenstein. For another occasion, Julia Schiwowa, created a jazz composition for one of Adèle's haiku poems. Her essay for the BÜNDNER Jahrbuch 2025 highlights Haiku in German by Flandrina von Salis, illustrated with a woodblock print by Conrad Meii. These are juxtaposed with contemporary Haiku by Benedetto Vigne in Rumantsch Grischun.
