Scaldes, “atomic” poets, Björk… Icelandic poetry in constant eruption.

From the skaldic tradition of the 10th century to the "atomic" movement that revolutionized the genre in the 1950s, poetry has always had a significant place in literary production in Iceland.

Neither marginalized nor frozen in tradition, it is still a very practiced, widely read and respected genre, capable of taking hold of all social and political debates (Birgitta Jonsdottir, founder of the Icelandic Pirate Party and briefly Prime Minister in 2016, was already known as a poet), and of renewing the relationship with nature again and again.

  • Ólöf Pétursdóttir , specialist in Celtic culture and modern and ancient Icelandic literature, translator (into French and Breton) of novelistic and poetic texts
  • And Janick Moisan , cultural mediator, director and passionate islandophile

will alternate between readings of texts and discussions with the public on this very lively production.
