This was an intense and brilliant event. I thought well of my pairings for the visiting Latvian poets, for Krišjānis Zeļģis, Lote Vilma Vītiņa, Inga Pizāne, Jelena Glazova worked so well with their counterparts. We were in the darkened cinema space of the generous Goethe centre, on Exhibition Road, just off Hyde Park. https://www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/latvia
There was a sense of physicality running throughout, a touch of menace with the playfulness, though the meditative live visual poetry of Bettina Fung and Lote Vitina was a particular highlight. Worth watching the videos at the link above. Some great photos by Madeleine Rose Elliott too.
