A mainstay and highlight of every European Poetry Festival so far; an event to celebrate one of the continent’s most dynamic and original literary scenes with the visit of Austrian poets Helene Proißl, Gudrun Schmidinger and Thomas Ballhausen. These three remarkable writers visit London to present new collaborations of poetry and performance, made for the night, with British compatriots, ably supported by many poets visiting the festival also collaborating.
