As a part of 100 thousand poets for change, 2011 poetry was put on screen in the middle of Bucharest on 24th of September.
This is a first video (not the official one yet) fot the event we had in Bucharest with poetry on the biggest media facade in Continental Europe (560 square meters/6,205 sq. ft.). It was the first time ever, when Romanian poetry was presented on this surface.
It included poetry by classical, modern, and contemporary Romanian poets selected to illustrate the idea of change.

The Romanian Poetry. the best history

romanianbodies — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:05:55 +0000

As I prepare a presentation on Romanian Poetry for Poznan in Poland, I can say that the best introduction is the article from The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics. The author is Virgil Nemoianu and someone had put it in a video:
The co-editors of the book were Alex Preminger and T.V.F. Brogan. The associate editors were Frank J. Wernke, O.B. Hardison and Earl Miner. At least until the end of XX-th century it offers a good start for study.

Poetics of the Quotidian turns atelierelational

romanianbodies — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:42:50 +0000

The event of live literature, Poetics of the Quotidian has been held weekly in Bucharest for the last five years. It was closed in June and became Atelierelational since September.

According to Razvan Tupa, the host of the event “Atelierelational is a new series of events that will involve more the participants from the audience. Poetics of the quotidian did it’s job. It launched a platform of regullar meetings between writers and audience. Now it’s time to hear the audience and to prepare the stage for the very young authors that are to publish their first books.”

The new format of the meetings includes video samples with international poetry and offers to the participants the notebooks of poetry, a thin notebook intended to support the writing of each participant.

Atelierelational is every Saturday at 17.00 in Cafe Dalles (18th Nicolae Balcescu Bd) in Bucharest.
