Poetry International Festival

7th- 13th June 2008 in the Schouwburg in Rotterdam

The theme is CITY AND COUNTRY. The audience will determine how much to pay for their tickets at the end of the programme.

In 2008, for the first time in history, the majority of the world’s population will live in urban areas. This proved an occasion for Poetry International to dedicate the 39th edition of the festival, from 7th –13th June in the Rotterdam Schouwburg, to the theme ‘City and Country’. The week will be filled with programmes, lectures, interviews and debates related to the theme.
