POETICA I

Festival for World Literature “On the Power of Poetry”

Ten international poets come together to reflect and discuss “On the Power of Poetry”: Why is poetry so fascinating? Where does its power come from?

The curator of Poetica is Michael Krüger, publisher, novelist, poet and member of the German Academy for Language and Literature.

The individual events – readings, lectures and discussions – will take place at various venues in the city of Cologne.

The Festival for World Literature is organised by the International College Morphomata of the University of Cologne together with the German Academy for Language and Literature.
