Dichte Atmosphäre, emotionale, berührende Texte und ein interessiertes Publikum waren die Zutaten für das zweite English Poetry Reading der Living Poets Society in Linz.
Am gestrigen Abend den 08.06.2017 war es wieder soweit für englischsprachige Poesie im Landeskulturzentrum im Ursulienhof. In der Galerie der Vereinigung Kunstschaffender Oberösterreichs (bvoö)fand die Veranstaltung statt. Unter dem Motto English Poetry meets Arts trafen sich Poeten und Interessierte um größtenteils selbstgeschriebene Texte vorzulesen und zuzuhören. Die verschiedenen und teilweise sehr emotionalen Texte hinterließen ein nachdenkliches und gefesseltes Publikum.
Vielen herzlichen Dank an Katharina für die Stellung der Location und Laura für die Unterstützung bei der Organisation. Phillip als Hauptorganisator ist Board Member vom International Graduates Club Linz. Ich freue mich auf das nächste Event, dass wahrscheinlich im August stattfindet.
