FESTIVAL: THE UPCOMING 6th edition of the Ars Poetica International Poetry Festival will turn Bratislava into a lively centre of interesting literary events and discussions. Its aim is to reintroduce poetry into people's everyday lives by offering the public a unique, multi-genre mosaic of classical and alternative literary forms. It also enables Slovak and foreign authors, translators and poetry enthusiasts to share their impressions and ideas in an informal creative atmosphere.
To fulfil this objective, numerous poetry readings, concerts, workshops and film screenings, including Blind Loves (pictured), will take place at the A4 Zero Space Club (SNP Square 12), the Nostalgia Film Club (Imricha Karvaša 2) and the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University (Gondova 2) from October 7 to 12. The highlight of the festival is a presentation of works by Carolyn Forché, a renowned American author recently awarded the prestigious Golden Rose Award, who will be in attendance. Admission for the majority of events is voluntary, except film screenings at the Nostalgia, which cost Sk50 (€1.66). For more information, go to www.arspoetica.sk
