Swedish poetry returned to the European Poetry Festival! Celebrating some of the most dynamic and brilliant Swedish poets of their generation, this event was hosted in the RIBA award winning Town House of Kingston University. Featuring solo and collaborative readings, the latter made for the night, by Swedish poets, and supported by students and alumni of the University, this event was another brilliant chapter in the festival’s focus on the literature of 21st century Sweden. Supported by Kulturrådet : Swedish Arts Council
Also at the festival we featured Swedish poet Judith Kiros at the National Centre for Writing
This is the fourth Swedish poetry celebration at the European Poetry Festival following events in 2024, 2022 and 2021. During the pandemic in 2020, a special collaborative poetry film was commissioned for the festival with Swedish poets too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LYcZ4Tb4xY
