International Ars Poetica Poetry Festival

The festival has so far hosted over three hundred poets, the most prominent ones as well as rising stars from all across the world, including the likes of T.S. Eliot prize winners, U.S. Poet Laureates, etc. In 2014, Ars Poetica has been privileged to be able to introduce to the Slovak audience a renowned US poet and nominee for the Pulitzer Prize – Ron Padgett, one of the founding fathers of the New York School and contemporary U.S. poetry. 

Every year Ars Poetica participants’ poetries will appear in a nearly 400 page festival anthology featuring their texts in the original language, Slovak translations and possibly in other languages.
