Poetry Days 2021
September 3 to 12, the annual poetry festival "Dzejas dienas/Poetry Days" fills Latvia with various poetry-related events, including readings, walks, slams, performances, stand-ups, and more. The first Poetry Days were celebrated on 11 September 1965 at Communard Park (now known as the Esplanāde) in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Latvian poet Rainis. Latvian Writers’ Union decided to organize a Poetry Days event every year, and so this tradition was born.
This year, the Poetry Days begins Friday, September 3, with readings and performances at NOASS (AB Dambis 2, Rīga). Full program is available on Poetry Days website.
