SALON POEZJI: Poetic map of Europe - France

Paris - a city of poets and painters, meetings and parting, street hustle, cafes, lights and mysterious alleys. French poetry has been telling stories that work on the imagination for centuries.

Salon “Love, City and Light” will be a journey through the eras and currents of French literature. Poems will sound sensual and intimate, but also perverse and rebellious. France, seen through the eyes of poets, is not only the homeland of love and art, but also a place of unrest, revolution and the search for freedom.
