Quintas de Leitura

A quote from Rimbaud ignites this outdoor session of the “Reading Thursdays,” integrated into the Porto Book Fair program. A celebration of words, in the rhythm of the pulse of this city “with fists of shouting.” From António Botto to Gisela Casimiro, from Inês Lourenço to Nuno Brito – the exotic perfume of words, a “mad rush” throughout almost 100 years of the trajectory of modern Portuguese poetry. Words written in fire. A blazing night, the phosphorescent gesture of many artists, united in the greater attitude of letting the word flow inexhaustibly.
