10 PM: Remembering recently deceased poets

A quiet evening, where each of our poets tell of another poet, a
kindred spirit or dear colleague, a great or ardent poet, who is no
longer with us. We read some of his/her poems.

11.30 PM: Festival Café

A relaxed evening where we come together, while music purifies the mind
and the last poems of the night fade out.

5 PM: Nordic voices

In the Nordic countries we are bound together by our common history.
And we have birch trees and blue eyes. Do the Nordic poets of today
write Nordic poems? Come and listen for yourself at Møllegades
Boghandel.

Why is poetry not read live in a private home? Today we do it. The
intimate surroundings will give you an even more personal and close
relation to the poets and to the poems. Only 10 seats in every home.

4 PM: Reading at Assistens Kirkegård

This reading takes place at Assistens Kirkegård before Søren
Kierkegaard's grave, in the very special aura that engulfs the place. We
meet at the grave. Follow the signs.

7 PM: The word goes round

Four poets at a coffee table. None of them have noticed the audience.
What might they talk about, and what poems do they read to each other
when they're alone together?
