Attention! Virus! Poetry attack city!
are people who wear the poetry bug yourself fixed and do not want to give up treatment. On the contrary - are trying to infect the others. They invite people to their homes, there to apply concentrated doses of the infectious substances. The virus occurs in many forms - already well recognized as dangerous varieties are Tkaczyszyn-Dycki, Sosnowski and Zadura. Of course there are always organisms showing greater resistance, but very sensitive, caution is advised in the days between 23 and 29 May - is already certain that, in these days occur in Lublin is an epidemic of poetry.
Jokes aside, but the case is serious. Houses of poetry is a unique achievement festival, which begins today. In four years, managed to lead the state in which the leading creator of contemporary poetry is not hosted in the Crown Court or one of the local universities, but show up at the invitation of city residents in their homes. In their homes, people represent not only a contemporary poets equally suited to Brodsky or poetry of Lublin. This year's list of titles he says one thing - each promoter can show that the lyrical notes of his heart. On that basis you can get a picture of what poetry is really alive today, and important for another reason than "X was a great poet." Houses of poetry by an unofficial formula meetings are a unique opportunity to come into contact with poetry. Or maybe to meet with other people, in which the medium is the line? Participants
poetry apartments are mostly (though not exclusively) colleagues of the host. This does not mean meeting a package of friends. Some skills are included only during the evenings. Many of them - and it is beautiful - do not end up the same day. Even if only to meet friends, they encounter different from those that take place normally. Subject
because not impose daily affairs, but a poem. It becomes the basis for discussions that can affect things embarrassing, difficult, personal, embarrassing or seemingly ridiculous. The poem, for which the medium more than anything else are the emotions, is a pretext for this, to talk about this key, but spychanej to the background area of \u200b\u200blife. The apartment poetry can be just as above, or completely different. They are in fact the events of a very loose program that clarifies properly during his lifetime, and its shape comes from the needs and engagement. With blocks of flats such as poetry or territories, Lublin festival proves that his name is not worship the formula. By this time the citizens of the town show (numbering more from year to year) that in those few days in the year they live poetry.
reading poetry seems to be something particularly personal. Houses and poetry allow my private view on the text a bit to make public and compare with others. Talking about specific works very quickly cease to be dysputami about literature, and degenerate in an exchange of views on life and reality. Exchange, in which nothing is lost, a lot can be gained.
I do not want any monument to expose the initiative, because it does not appear as living statues. And a wish festival that housing does not become a dead idea, but from year to year expanded its reach. Because it will mean not only that poetry is important for humans, but that it is primarily important is the man to man. It sounds like platitudes steak, but it's worth the time to take care of and look at banałom carefully, because you may find that their role in life is significant.
