Among the authors invited to the 1st edition of the Zygmunt Haupt Festival there are not only renowned writers of prose and reporters but also representatives of the art of poetry. It is their creative work that the section “In the medium of poetry,” moderated by Darek Foks, is dedicated to.

Poetry-focused meetings shall begin on September 21st at 7PM in the building of the Municipal Public Library. Darek Foks will be talking to Artur Szlosarek – poet and translator, laureate of the Kościelski Foundation Award, author of collections of poems, including “Camera obscura,” “Pod obcym niebem,” and “Ołówek rzeźnika.” Another guest will be Bohdan Zadura – writer of poetry and prose, translator, editor-in-chief of the “Twórczość” magazine. The meeting will be a chance to talk about the 2011 Wroclaw Silesius Poetry Award-winning book “Nocne życie,” but also to touch upon the author’s last poetry collection, “Kropka nad i.” We invite you to this meeting to the Municipal Public Library on September 25th at 4:15PM. This year’s poetry collection “nice” is one of the topics which Darek Foks chose for the discussion with Barbara Klicka. The meeting with the Wroclaw Silesius Poetry Award nominee (2013), poet, and animator of culture, will take place in the Gorlice Culture Centre on September 27th at 5:30PM.

Admission to all festival events is free. Details and descriptions of all events can be found under the PROGRAM tab.
