He returns Spring of Poets, this time in the spring (after two autumn editions) and with Joan-Elies Adell as guest poet.
This time, the pandemic situation will not prevent the Printemps des Poètes from being celebrated in the station that gives it its name. Following the tradition, the events will be spread over three days and three stages: Friday in Neimünster, Saturday at the Schlassgoart gallery in Esch-sur-Alzette and Sunday at the Simoncini gallery. The novelty is that Esch hosts the great night of poetry on Saturday evening because Printemps is this year another event of the cultural capital of Esch-sur-Alzette.
Here you can view the complete Spring program.
