Thank you for making the 54th Poetry International Festival unforgettable!

From June 6 to 9, at the 54th Poetry International Festival Rotterdam, we took everything out of poetry and the poetic out of everything. With poets and spoken word artists from all over the world and partners from far and near, the festival presented unique poetry performances, theme specials, workshops, interviews and interactive programs. This year’s festival theme - "Poetry to the Power of Two"-  showed us how poetry can multiply infinitely, transcending languages and borders. Your enthusiasm and participation made this event a festive celebration of poetry and a chapter to remember in our never-ending book!
