Messenian Writers Association-World Poetry Day
Spread the word
The Messenian Writers' Union holds a tribute for World Poetry Day on Thursday, March 14th, 2024, at 19:00 in the Amphitheatre of the Kalamata Philharmonic.
This year's celebration is dedicated to the poetic generation of the 1970s and to poet Antonis Fostieris. Antonis Fostieris will talk with the president of E.M.S., Antonia Pavlakos, about the generation to which he grammatically belongs and his poetic work. A screening of archival visual material will accompany the conversation.
The poet will read his poems, while musician Teta Vasilakis will sing his poems set to music on the piano. Also, on an inter-artistic level, the relationship between the poetry of Fostieris and the painting of Yiannis Psychopaidis will be highlighted through words and images.
Antonia Pavlakos will curate the Event, and Marilina Vavaroutsou and Maria Dalli, members of the Board of Directors of E.M.S., will edit the visual material.
Alexis Charalambopoulos, a member of the Board of Directors, will moderate the evening.
The Event takes place with the generous support of the Municipality of Kalamata.
