Printemps des Poètes: The “Happening”
 |
Take two published poets, Ariane Dreyfus and Falmarès and put them in the same room with jazz musician Nathanaël De Vries and see what happens! That is the whole idea behind a happening…a unique performance not to be missed! Poetry readings will be in both French and English. Translations will be read by Mishell Magnus Ducloux, ambassador from Angers’ sister city, Austin, Texas. This program falls within the context of the Printemps des Poètes 2025 (the French national celebration of poetry) and has been organised with the collaboration of the MIEL (Maison internationale des écritures et des littératures) with the support of the Ville d’Angers. Free and open to the public. No need to reserve, just come and enjoy! |
