About Open Letter to Europe
Days of Poetry and Wine, one of the most prestigious Central European poetry festivals, initiated an Open Letter to Europe in 2017. The letter addresses Europe and the world with the desire to return to public use the language of art, considered, refined and precise. The artistic management of the festival selects a top poet every year and gives him/her a unique opportunity to address Europe and highlight the problems that he/she finds most pressing.
All Open Letters to Europe are published on the website and as a separate publication. All members of the European Parliament and members of the Council of Europe and the European Commission receive them personally. They are published by many prominent European media, which makes an Open Letter to Europe an European project with weight.
