Krystyna DĄBROWSKA honours us with the presentation of her poems during the ninth edition of the TRANSPOESIE Festival, on the 3rd of October at Maison du Livre. Accompanied by poets from all over Europe:  Yasmin Hafedh (Austria), Jan Kaus (Estonia), Dan Coman (Roumania) et Paul Mathieu (Luxembourg), Krystyna Dąbrowska will present her poems in their original version. Everything will be understandable thanks to the translations projected simultaneously when reading the poems, in French and English.

The poetic performances will be followed by a drink, an opportunity to meet the poets personally.
