Delighted to have translated Durs Grünbein for the Days of Poetry and Wine Festival in Slovenia this summer. Lovely tri-liingual publications to have come out of it too: Open Letter to Europe and Besede ne spijo/ Words don't sleep
The Days of Poetry and Wine Festival is a festival that hosts the younger generation of poets from all over the world. Up to 2009 it took place in Medana (a village in Goriška Brda next to the Italian border) during the last week in August, basically turning the village into the poetry capital of Europe for a week. In 2010 the 14th edition of the festival moves to Ptuj, a historical town of Roman origin in eastern Slovenia, one of regional partner cities of Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012. Since then the festival takes place in Ptuj. It is run by Beletrina Publishing Institute.
