Rosario International Poetry Festival has been taking place without interruption since 1993. Its aim is to recognise and disseminate each country’s cultural values and to further exchange and dialogue in relation to significant aspects of the history, literary tradition and poetic creation of the countries that take part. It is regarded as the most important poetry festival in Latin America after Medellín Festival.
The twenty-second festival is devoted to new Spanish American poetry and the Argentinian writer Juan José Saer, whose unpublished and posthumous poems are coming out this year. The organisers have invited Spanish American poets aged up to 35 from Spain, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Nicaragua, Argentina, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic and will be publishing an anthology through the Editorial Municipal de Rosario Poesía hispanoamericana del S. XXI.
The festival also features readings, workshops (poetry, poetry translation, poetics and drama, book production, production of the festival’s digital magazine), screenings, concerts, lectures, publications and an independent publishers’ fair.
AC/E, through the PICE mobility grants, is supporting the participation of the multifaceted Pablo Fidalgo, founder of the theatre company La Tristura, independent curator, winner of the Injuve Prize for poetry and author of books such as La educación física (Pre-textos, 2010), chosen by El Cultural as one of the five best poetry books published in Spain in 2010. His texts have been compiled in various anthologies and translated into Portuguese, French, Polish, English and Farsi. He will hold a poetry clinic and take part in putting together an anthology of 35 Spanish American poets aged under 35.
