The Poetas festival is a national and international meeting point for alternative works by artists of words. It allows many poets, publishers and cultural managers to gain deeper knowledge of new expressions.
One of the aims of the festival is to foster the internationalisation of the sector. The choice of guests, be they poets or publishers, is made by curators who enjoy prestige in their country of origin and have a long experience in the fields of cultural management or publishing. Interaction between national and international guests is based chiefly on exporting Spanish poetry to other countries and their participation in foreign festivals, as well as on facilitating knowledge of authors to be subsequently translated and published.
AC/E took part in this year’s festival through its Visitors programme, by supporting the participation of publishers, critics and programmers of the leading poetry media and festivals.
The festival began with a performance by AJO and the flamenco artist Paco Soto at 8pm on 26 May at the Café Berlin to welcome all the poets, editors and general public.
