D’Hortons. Poetes a la Bassa Gran. A poetry recital
22h
On July 22 at 10 pm, Ricard Garcia, Hortonenc poet, will coordinate “D'Hortons. Poetes en la Bassa Gran”: A poetry recital that, for the fifth year, is taking place in this emblematic location of Sant Llorenç de Hortons, which in the past had served as a meeting point for women who went to do the laundry (it is still preserves the public laundry room) and, also, who was going to fill the jugs with fresh water and talk about what was cooking in the town. The fountain is located just at the end of the town and is a kind of border between the urban area and the natural environment. The tradition of the fountain as a meeting place and of the word has also been important when choosing it as the ideal setting for poetry recitals on summer nights.
Every year, 3 poets from all over the world are invited to recite their work. This year they will come: Celia Sánchez-Mústich, Joan Duan Ferrer and Jordi Benavente. At the end of the evening there will be the chance to have a relaxed glass of wine or cava, to talk with the guest poets and also to buy their books.
All this (the poetry, the fountain, the summer nights, the relaxed conversations...) makes it an event with a special charm, free and open to anyone who wants to participate. We would very much like you to be encouraged to come and enjoy poetry.
To be able to enjoy the poetry recital as well as to taste a glass of wine or cava
