The Poets’ Circle will hold the 2nd Athens World Poetry Festival, from September 21st to September 26th, at the Garden of the Athens Concert Hall.
50 poets from 21 different countries will take part in the festival.
Greece will be represented by Nanos Valaoritis, Titos Patrikios, Kiki Dimoula, Evgenios Aranitsis, Giannis Dallas, Dimitra Christodoulou and Kostas Stergiopoulos. Poets from other countries such as Adonis, Carolyn Forch, Rikardo Areggi, Gerhard Falkner and Fernando Rendon will also participate.
“The continuous and public communication of poetry with the wider public is one of the main goals,” according to the Poets’ Circle. During the next few days, poetry will travel everywhere through fifteen events to be held in cultural centres of various municipalities around Athens, such as bookstores, cafes and bars, galleries, public squares and even prisons.
Poetry will meet the “simple man” in his every day life, to show its presence, in the difficult times we are experiencing.
