  • Friday, October 8, 2021 - Sunday, October 10, 2021

Indie bookshops, libraries, museums, theatres and even care homes – between 8 and 10 October, Cracovian institutions host meetings with verse during the 11th Poetry Night. The protagonists of this year’s event, held under the banner “The Power of Poetry!”, are Cyprian Kamil Norwid and Tadeusz Różewicz – patrons of 2021 alongside Stanisław Lem. We will also explore the writings of Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński on the centenary of his birth.
During Poetry Night, we will also ponder the works of Adam Zagajewski who passed away a few months ago. Poems by the Cracovian author will be read at the Church of St. Catherine by Maja Komorowska, Ryszard Krynicki, Tomasz Różycki, Olga Tokarczuk and Jerzy Trela. The Kraków Poetry Salon at Stary Teatr resounds with Zagajewski’s verses presented by students at the Stanisław Wyspiański National Academy of Theatre Arts in Kraków.
Countless meetings, live poetry, concerts and spectacles and activities for kids – you’ll find more information on all events held as part of the 11th Poetry Night on the event’s website (in Polish).
