Ist INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE ASSEMBLY

IBIZA, MEDITERRANEAN HARBOUR OF BOOKS.
From the 12th to the 15th of March 2008, Ibiza will be a safe harbour and a space for intercultural dialogue with some twenty authors of international relevance represented through their work.


Ibiza transforms itself into ‘Poetic Island’ where we will witness poetry recitals, discussions, conferences and concerts, all with the Library of Babel as a common theme, being the symbol of the spirit of cultural diversity.
The port of Ibiza once again becomes a forum to approximate ideas, an opening and meeting point with the world aiming to indentify points of contact from disparity.
