Poetry is said to be the art that unites pleasure with truth; interior, rhythmical creations that can travel the globe casting questions, expressions and emotions. Guy Helminger, a poet, playwrite and novelist from Luxembourg; Yi Lei, one of China’s most critically acclaimed poets; Marius Burokas, a poet and editor of a literary journal from Lithuanian; and Liu Liduo, a Chinese writer who began her career writing poetry, will come together to share some of their work and discuss the role of poetry and poetics in the 21st century.
