The second Ars Interpres poetry festival will take place in Stockholm from 5-9 October 2006. The festival brings together more than twenty poets from Sweden and nearly one dozen other countries for a series of literary events at several venues around the city. On the schedule is the chance to hear the fluid words of live poetry aboard the ship Constantia.

The poets, who will read from their work, give talks and launch new bilingual collections of poetry, include John Kinsella, Ewa Lipska, Gunnar Harding, Aleksandr Kushner and Giannina Braschi. In addition to the readings on board, events will be happening at Kulturhuset, Svensk Tenn, Svensk Form, Polska Institutet, Stockholm University and other places in the city. All are free and open to the public. Sponsors of this year’s festival are the Swedish Academy, the Swedish Institute, Ports of Stockholm, Kulturrådet and Polska Institutet.

Ars Interpres Publications produces an annual journal as well as bilingual and trilingual books of poetry and organizes art exhibitions in addition to public readings. The first Ars Interpres festival took place in October 2004. It featured poets from around the world including award-winning writers Les Murray and Aris Fioretos. 

According to editor Alexander Deriev, the principal mission of the magazine and poetry festival is to “offer the best of poetry and translation in a very special, high-quality format to its immense audience.” Live readings by the poets themselves, Deriev continues, “remain something special. The spoken word allows us to see the poet’s world from within, and to experience the poet's own sense of his or her work.”

The full schedule of events of the 2006 festival appears below as well as on the Ars Interpres website ( http://www.arsint.com/festival.html ), where short biographies and photos of the participants are also available.
