More than 180 poets from over 20 countries are expected to participate, between September 9-15, at the 14th edition of the Bucharest International Poetry Festival (FIPB), organized by the Bucharest City Hall, through the National Museum of Romanian Literature (MNLR).One of the most important genre events in Romania and one of the most followed in Central and South-Eastern Europe, FIPB will once again become this year a space for dialogue and reflection for poets from an important number of linguistic areas - over 20 countries and autonomous communities of the world: Brazil, Canada, Spain, Portugal, France, Israel, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, Great Britain, Germany, Republic of Moldova, Switzerland, Sweden, Panama, Hungary, United States of America, Croatia, Italy, Serbia, informs the MNLR in a statement sent to AGERPRES on Tuesday."For seven days, we once again enjoy a framework of experiences and debates created around poetry, where writing is celebrated as art, along with the tonalities of music, the nuances and pictorial visions or the joy of a theatrical or cinematographic show. I am grateful to everyone of our partners who agreed to make the 14th edition possible. I trust that the poetry-loving or just curious public, 'classic' readers or followers of poetic experiments will find at least one event in the rich list of readings, debates and workshops who will bring them with us," said the director of MNLR, Ioan Cristescu, quoted in the press release.The program includes over 50 events, from public readings, debates, conferences to workshops, moments dedicated to important poets who have disappeared from among us, poetry workshops and performances, evenings dedicated to beginners, moments of improvisation, script workshops and short films starting from films dedicated to poetry, to artistic moments where poetry sits alongside other arts, such as music, painting or film.
