It takes place in Ptuj in eastern Slovenia and goes until the 24th of August. It will showcase over 20 poets and a series of events.

The 17th annual festival will feature three guests of honour: Yang Lian from China, Michel Deguy from France and one of Slovenia's most celebrated contemporary poets, Josip Osti.
The focus this year will be on French poetry and on Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel (1904-1926).
There will also be music by Manouche, Vasko Atanasovski and Chris Eckman.
Private readings will be held in narrow alleyways of the medieval city centre, while the fringe programme will involve panels, theatre shows and exhibitions.
