"Word. Emotion. Connection": with these three words and a huge soap bubble, a new edition of the Barcelona Poetry Festival has been presented, which will be held from May 6 to 13. American singer and poet Laurie Anderson, Canadian rhapsodist Anne Carson, British poet Raymond Antrobus, and Hungarian poet Nóra Blascsók will be the stars of the next edition of the Barcelona Poetry Festival 2025, co-directed by Maria Callís and Manuel Forcano. "This year we have placed a strong emphasis on internationalization," comments Forcano.
