in mij sleept een slak zich prehistorisch kalm
Excerpt from “Midden” by Marjolein van Heemstra
terug naar het begin en een mens zich naar het einde; geen van beide
is in zicht, alleen dit tijdelijke midden.
From June 10th to 12th, the 52nd Poetry International Festival opened its doors to celebrate poetry with renowned poets from across the globe, offering a variety of accessible events full of linguistic wonders. Poetry was present everywhere, live from the hearts of the festival at LantarenVenster and Verhalenhuis Belvédère in Rotterdam.
To honor the broad range of diverse poets featured this year, Poetry International commissioned Rotterdam-based artists to create posters and animations illustrating various poems.
