2024 Quick peep: Book Fairs, Festivals & Modern Poetry in Translation

18/12/2024

Throughout the year many are the occasions where the Institut Ramon Llull has been present at different literary events abroad. Looking back at 2024 we surely would see to start with 12 book fairs around the world: from Latin America to Central Europe and from the US to Middle East and the Nordic countries. And to continue, we would also scan the International Literary Festivals, where the authors meet and connect, and with luck they could find their elective affinities, even everlasting. Also, we would like to underline the magazine MPT (Modern Poetry in Translation -the best world poetry in English-), and the current issue devoted to Catalan language and poetry.
