Maison de la Poésie

For the past two years something wonderful has been happening at Paris’ Maison de la Poésie, a public space dedicated to prose in an alley aptly named Passage Molière.

Whether it’s a gathering of poetry on the subject of exile with readings in Spanish, French and Farsi, accompanied by a musical guitar trio, a meeting with Egyptian author Sonallah Ibrahim, or most recently, a series of events built around the theme of Paris and London with authors such as Martin Amis, Nick Hornby, Zadie Smith or Jonathan Coe, accompanied by musicians and actors, La Maison de la Poésie, which used to exclusively host poetry events is now brimming with literary creativity in all shapes and forms.

Doesn’t it sound glorious? Read more about this literary hub here.
