Welcome in the LV Foyer

There’s always something going on in the LV foyer.

During the festival the foyer at LantarenVenster will be transformed into a venue for a range of activities. Visit the poetry market to buy collections written by your latest discoveries, have that line of poetry that could have been written specially for you printed on an item of clothing, or listen to a performance or talk on the foyer stage. All this, plus of course plenty of delicious things to eat and drink. In short, there’s always something going on in the LV foyer.

The Itinerant Poetry Librarian
14:00 - 02:00 hrs
Since 2006, The Itinerant Poetry Librarian has been traveling the major literary festivals of this world. Everywhere she goes, she displays her colorful library of lost and forgotten books and collects the sounds, poems and poetry of the cities and people she meets. For the last fourteen years - minus those last two - she also installed herself at the Poetry International Festival, and so Rotterdam is in the top five in terms of membership. So grab your membership again - or become a member - and look her up for a special book and an unforgettable experience.
