” We have no official theme, but it is forty publishers that exhibit at the fair and it is they who contribute with the content. The fair shows very well on the poetry that is given to the right now – during these two days are samtidspoesin here, in the house.
– It is perhaps poesikritikerna better placed to judge… But it is fun that you can really see that there is a very large width. We have fantastic debutants like Burcu Sahin, who just got Katapultpriset, and the old foxes who have been with for a long time, that Bengt Berg. In addition, more international poets than in previous years, from six different countries. The poet Gloria Gervitz will all the way from Mexico, to a public library in Stockholm!
” Very organic, it has grown a little each year. It has become more and more exhibitors, so you can share fraternally and systerligt on the place, since everything takes place in the rotunda at the library. In the year we should get the heck bokbord, forty publishers, it gets very crowded! I don’t know if we can grow more, or if it is needed, but it is really fun that it has become so as more and more are waking up to the fair.
