European Poetry Festival 2024
15 events to full houses, over 150 poets performing 100 brand new live collaborations, the European Poetry Festival charted another brilliant year, centred around our summer festival across the UK. With dozens of poets visiting from nations across our continent EPF 24 was one of the grandest celebrations of European poetry ever to take place in Britain. As ever before, the festival was a jubilant, innovative, communal experience - celebrating collaboration, literary liveness and cross-linguistic inventiveness.
Our events at National Poetry Library, National Centre for Writing, Rich Mix, Kingston University Town House and other venues, hosted poets from Catalonia, Flanders, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Latvia, Norway and many other nationalities, all of whom presented new live poetry as premieres, made for the events, with UK-based counterparts.
