‘You have an outer space violin in your left ear’ – Hu Xudong

Get ready for a week full of readings, interviews, lectures, special programmes and publications; a feast for the ears and eyes. From 10 to 14 June 2014 poets from all over the world will converge on Rotterdam for the 45th time to take part in the city’s Poetry International Festival. The poetry party won’t be confined to the Rotterdam Municipal Theatre. As in previous years, this festival will spill over into the worlds of film, music and the visual arts.
