36th Stichting Poetry International Festival [Nederlands]:
Defence of Poetry address delivered by Lars Gustafsson
18 – 24 June 2005
Rotterdamse Schouwburg – Rotterdam City Theatre


During this year’s 36th Poetry International Festival lasting from Saturday June 18th through Friday June 24th, Rotterdam’s City Theatre will be the meeting place for poetry lovers and poets from around the world. The festival’s central theme this year is Poetry & Theatre. Throughout the festival week there will be events and presentations inspired by this theme. Poetry International has invited national and international poet-playwrights to present their work and views, and special theme nights will feature the poetry and plays of Federico Garcia Lorca and Judith Herzberg.

Among the events to be staged at the 36th Poetry International Festival are:
• The annual ‘Defence of Poetry’ address, delivered this year by the Swedish poet Lars Gustafsson
• Presentations of poetry from Australia and New Zealand
• For the first time in its history, the PI Festival will present an event featuring poetry in sign language.
• Eight national slam poetry champions will compete for the title at the second World Slampionship.
• For the second time – and already a regular item on the festival calendar – there is Poetry & Art, in which visual artists present work straddling the borderline between poetry and the visual arts.
• The annual presentation of the C. Buddingh’ Prize for the best Dutch-language poetry debut in the past year.

For the fourth year, he publishing house of De Arbeiderspers presents its anthology Hotel Parnassus, containing a broad selection of work from poets at the festival: Tusiata Avia (New Zealand), Gregory O’Brien (New-Zealand), John Tranter (Australia), Laurence Vielle (Belgium), Lars Gustafsson (Sweden), Ingrid de Kok (South Africa), Erik Menkveld (Netherlands), Judith Herzberg (Netherlands), Peer Wittenbols (Netherlands), Anne Vegter (Netherlands), Darek Foks (Poland), Gerrit Komrij (Netherlands), and many others.

The festival programme with information on participating poets and events is available free of charge from mid-May. The festival programme is posted on www.poetry.nl as from May 1.
