Festival Poetas por KM2 2014

Festival Poetas por KM2 2014

The festival brings together big names on the current poetry scene in Spanish-speaking countries, spanning a range of styles from classical to the most experimental and strengthening poetry’s links to music, oral language and artistic and visual expressions. Throughout its nine years of life, it has not viewed spaces and venues as “backdrops” for poetry; instead, it has integrated them into the discourse.   
 
The festival is structured into two annual spatio-temporal moments. One is held in Madrid and consists of workshops and actions for younger audiences, exhibitions, a film and literature section, a publications fair and performances of poetry. The other takes place at a cultural venue in a guest country. On the past five occasions the guest countries have been the Dominican Republic in 2009, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador in 2010, Brazil in 2011, Mexico in 2012 and Guatemala in 2013.
 
For the tenth event, in 2014, the guest country is the United States. AC/E is collaborating with the festival through the mobility awards of the PICE by supporting the participation of poets María Salgado, Javier José Ballesteros, Rafael Metlikovez, Eduard Escoffet, Ajo Micropoetisa, José Manuel Saiz and Josep Pedralbes at Fordham University, New York. The Poetas por Km2 held there is based on the same idea of a poetry festival whose aspects range from classical poetry to a combination of the most avant-garde and experimental elements, mixing not only rhythms and styles but also the provenance of the latter, as its forays into many Latin American countries have opened up frontiers to its international experience and influence.
