June festival issue published today on PIW

Our PIW festival issue has now been published. What does this mean? All the festival poets are now online with biographies, poems and English translations on www.poetryinternational.org, and there are also lots of articles, essays and interviews relating to the festival and the guest poets, including Charles Simic on prose poetry, Tom Van de Voorde on Wallace Stevens and Richard Zenith on Pessoa’s bilingualism. This is our biggest issue of PIW ever, so dive in!

During the festival we will be live-streaming selected international events, and we’ll be making Poetry Clip film portraits of the poets, as we’ve done in previous years. These will be added to PIW, along with audio recordings of interviews and poetry readings. We’ll keep you updated about new material on PIW, and all the other goings-on at the festival via this blog.
