The online edition of the 22nd poesiefestival berlin (11–17 June) came to a successful conclusion yesterday evening. With the motto There Lies Europe, the Festival presented an extensive digital programme of readings, talks, discussions, concerts and workshops on the Festival website poesiefestival.org featuring 150 artists from around 40 countries. Taking centre place in this year’s edition of the Festival was the poetry of Europe, which was taken as a prism for examining the political, cultural and linguistic diversity of Europe in an ambivalent way, finding its pain points and searching for what connects us in diversity.

Under the heading There lies Europe, the 22nd poesiefestival berlin from 11 to 17 June 2021 will be looking at the poetry of Europe in all its diversity of forms and languages and, in spite of the pandemic, building poetic bridges across the continent. The Festival will be paying special attention to Europe’s many languages: regional and minority languages, multilingualism and the ambivalence between languages and language policy. In the FORUM: Europe’s diversity has no skin, Europe’s wealth of languages is the starting point for an approach to the cultural, social and political reality of the continent from the linguistic side. The Language Archipelagos of Europe deserve special attention. Multilingualism in five European regions – Spain, former Yugoslavia, the Baltic, Romania and the Caspian Sea – will come under scrutiny in five events looking at language policy and linguistic nationalism, identity and poetic tradition.
