This summer, from 19 June to 6 July, the European Poetry Festival returns for its 7th edition with a vibrant series of events across the UK, highlighting the diverse poetic voices from across Europe. Supported by the Institut français du Royaume-Uni and other cultural institutions, the festival underscores a celebration of collaboration, literary vibrancy, and cross-linguistic creativity, featuring free events at prestigious venues such as the National Poetry Library, National Centre for Writing, Rich Mix, Kingston University Town House, and others.

As part of the festival, the Institut français is keen to support the participation of Anna Ayanoglou, a French poet renowned for her exploration of identity and change.
