Jairo García Jaramillo at “Sábado en armas”
Javier Egea wrote that poetry is a “pequeño pueblo en armas contra la soledad”. From the Asociación Cultural del Diente de Oro, we want to contribute to raise that small town and with that motivation we start a new cycle of poetic meetings with the collaboration of Granada City of Literature UNESCO. “Sábado en armas” aims to create a space where once a month on Saturday is poetry, a joyful occasion for dialogue and community that resists violence and disaffection of our world.
Asociación del Diente de Oro
The cycle of poetry readings “Sábado en armas” is going on at the Centro Federico García Lorca on April 15, 2023, at 12 noon. The new event will consist of a reading of poems by Jairo García Jaramillo, who will read poems from his book A través de la noche (2023). Presented by Carlos Allende. Organized by: Asociación del Diente de Oro and Granada UNESCO City of Literature Office. Collaborator: Centro Federico García Lorca.
