“Between Tongues / Tarp kalbų” is a special Poetry Event bringing together poets who write in (at least) two different languages. It's a celebration of multilingualism. For the poets and translators involved the meeting starts already on Monday 15 May, and the reading on 20 May is the closing event of what will be an intense one-week encounter all around poetry – in six different languages: Lithuanian, German, French, Italian, English and XYZ (see the point of the flying name of the ‘missing’ poet above).

The translators who come and work with the poets must of course not go unmentioned. We are vey happy to work with: Ramunė Brundzaitė, Dainius Gintalas, Austėja Merkeviciūtė and Markus Roduner!

Join us for the reading on 20 May that turns languages into music and music into languages (and water into whiskey or something like that). We’ll be very happy to see you there!

And if you want to save another date right away – as you are now already trained to do so – please also save the date of Thursday 18 May at 3 p.m. (15 val.) and come to our Public Discussion/Round Table at Vilnius University (Universiteto gatve 5, Room 92) where we will talk about what it means and how it is to write in more than one language! (A separate invitation for the 18 May will follow later.)
