The poet’s words beneath our feet
‘We realise that not everyone will come to a poetry meeting, but we want people to come across poetry in various places,’ says Katarzyna Janusik from the Wroclaw House of Literature, which (in collaboration with the Garaże Kultury Association) co-ordinates the project of poetry in urban space.
On Plac Solny, one fragment of the poem refers the reader to another.
‘Each fragment has a separate impact, because these are short and strong phrases, and they assume a completely new sense when put together,’ explains Katarzyna Janusik.
The poems ‘Kto jest poetą’ and ‘Oczyszczenie’ [Cleansing] are sprayed down on pavements around the Market Square. Prepared a few days before the Silesius International Poetry Festival held in May, they are a temporary installation and will be visible until the weekend of 25th-27th June, for one month after the end of the festival.
