Luz Poética. I Festival de Poesía Nova de Compostela
Luz Poética is the first young poetry festival in Compostela, inspired by the figure of the Compostela poet Luz Fandiño, who represents a great inspiration for Galician youth.
The meeting, which will take place in various emblematic spaces of the Galician capital, such as the Church of the USC, the Xove de la Almáciga Sociocultural Centre and the Teatro Principal, as well as in local entities linked to the world of culture, such as pubs and bookshops in the old town, will give voice to the poetic boom in the city in recent years. During the six days of the festival, from 17 to 22 October 2022, young poets from the current Galician scene will participate, as well as the Grand Final of the state Poetry Slam. A unique opportunity to connect poets from different latitudes with our poetry.
