BETWEEN THE LINES / CHAPTER THREE

On August 11th at 19.00 EEST/18.00 CET, the Danish Cultural Institute in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania will finish its Baltic poetry tour with a trip to the Danish Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania.

This time we have invited Angolan born poet and artist Aaiún Nin to join us. Aaiún Nin’s work is rated highly by e.g., PEN international and the first book of the artist “På min huds sorthed” (“Broken Halves of a Milky Sun”) is published by the end of this month. The book has already been sold to publish in the United States, Germany and Poland.

Aaiún will be accompanied by Lithuanian poet Dominykas Norkūnas, recently published in Lithuanian literature and philosophy magazine “Punctum”. The work of Dominykas Norkūnas has been awarded with prestigious prices such as the Dominik Urba Prize. His debut poetry collection is expected to be published in September.

During the event, you will have the opportunity to listen to live readings from their respective works, in the beautiful garden of the Danish Embassy in Vilnius.

After their readings there will be a discussion on their literary work and the challenges and themes that they each treat in their poems, where you, the audience, will have the chance to ask them questions.
