Literary Landscapes.
Literary Journeys through
Catalonia and Germany
The GeoGraphia - Literary
Landscapes project has brought
together three pairs of German
and Catalan writers on literary
journeys through Germany and
Catalonia, during the period
of June to September. The
authors have acted alternately as
hosts and guests, guiding their
partner through their literary,
cultural and personal realities.
They have also done readings of
their works in various German
and Catalan cities, and bring
their journeys to a close here in
Frankfurt with this presentation.
The writers who participated
in the project will read extracts
from their works and speak
of their experience in this
exchange programme, which
can be followed on the website
http://www.goethe.de/ins/
es/bar/prj/lil/caindex.htm.

20:30 The classics
Poetry Night
Closing event of the
literary programme. A
tribute to Joan Vinyoli
Joan Vinyoli (1914-1984) was a
poet and translator into Catalan
of, amongst others, Rainer Maria
Rilke. His inquiring and lucid
poetry, free from the infl uence
of fashions, schools or trends,
has become a point of reference
for subsequent generations of
poets, both for the originality of
his universe of imagery and for
the authenticity and modernity
of his lyrical voice. With a burst
of fi ne poetry, his work, and that
of the Catalan poets who are
his heirs, will bring down the
curtain on the Catalan literary
programme in Frankfurt.
Refreshments will be served.
