Poetry in Lisbon
1 upcoming event
Get poetry in Lisbon in your weekly roundup.
Poetry in Lisbon doesn't just live between the covers of a book. It's read aloud in cafés, spat out on slam stages, murmured at an intimate reading or shouted at an open mic. We've gathered everything that keeps the poetry scene beating: readings, recitals, open mics and meet-the-author sessions.
Whether you're more free-verse-in-a-Belleville-cellar or grand-recital-in-a-library, you'll find the next date right below this intro. The list updates itself, every day.
