Austrian Poetry Celebration - European Poetry Festival

Fabian Faltin and SJ Fowler

A brilliant event celebrating contemporary Austrian poetry through three of its most dynamic and exciting practitioners, visiting London to present brand new collaborations, made for the night, with British counterparts. A full house witnessed the 5th Austrian celebration at the European Poetry Festival, and as before this event shared remarkable cross-genre and cross-lingual literature of the most original kind. https://www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/

The event also saw the launch of a new publication in the Occasions series - an anthology documenting the collaborations that make up the history of the EPF and the ACF, published by Sampson Low.

The European Poetry Festival celebrates, in the UK and beyond, the grand resurgence in avant-garde and literary poetry that has marked the 21st century in Europe. It aims to not only innovate what a live poetry experience might be, but to inculcate community and engagement between poets across the continent, as well as between new audiences and complex poetries.
