Tomorrow at 8pm, four poets from Detroit and New Jersey in the United States will be reading their work together with their Maltese counterparts at Gnien il-Gardjola in Senglea. Entrance to this event, which is open to the general public, is free of charge.

Poezija Gardjola is being organised by Inizjamed, in collaboration with the Senglea Local Council. The Gardjola Garden is found just above Senglea Point and it enjoys a breathtaking view of the Grand Harbour, with Valletta across the harbour and Vittoriosa to the right.

The American writers are poet and singer songwriter M.L. Liebler, Italo-American poet Maria Mazziotti Gillan, prose writer Jennifer Gillan, and poet Anca Vlasopolos. They are among the academics who will be taking part in the 10th International Conference of the International Society for the Study of European Ideas (ISSEI) entitled: “The European Mind: Narrative and Identity,” at the University of Malta in the last week of July.

The Maltese poets taking part in Poezija Gardjola are Antoine Cassar, Victor Fenech, Maria Grech Ganado, Adrian Grima, Simone Inguanez, Immanuel Mifsud, Walid Nabhan, and Leslie Vassallo. There will also be readings of poems by Roderick Mallia who coordinated the event.
