The Stockholm International Poetry Festival, hosted at Södra Teatern, Stockholms stadsbibliotek, and the Nobel Museum, springs from a wish for poetry to take new shepes and directions by giving it a scenic expression. The festival serves as a melting pot where the written word meets music, dance and performance, and creates something new.

Founder and Artistic Director: Madeleine Grive. Ukraine is in focus this year, with participation of several Ukrainian authors and poets.

It is the single most recognized poetry festival in Scandinavia; it is a meeting point where international poets are introduced to the Swedish audience.
