Poets and philosophers

In search of the limits of imagination

Two things that go together, like salt and pepper, like gin and tonic, like shoe socks: poetry and philosophy. Poets, by definition, are also thinkers, and for this program we have invited poets & philosophers - sometimes one and the same person - to engage in conversation about the imaginative power of poetry and this year's festival theme: There is a poem for that. Where is the limit of poetry, the limit of imagination, and does it even exist? Why is poetry so suitable for shaping philosophical thought, and in what ways can it all be done? Prepare to walk out enlightened after the end of this conversation between poets and thinkers.

Featuring Signe Gjessing and Eva Meijer.
