In the organizer's words:

A series of events for queer poetry traveling through the Ruhr region with a changing line-up - with a finale in Dortmund!

In November and December, the queeRUHRlanten poetry festival is a series of readings and workshops taking place in various cities in the Ruhr region, putting the spotlight on the local queer poetry scene. Welcome to the Dortmund finale!

At a cozy reading evening between the years, five poets will share their works with us.

If you're interested in doing a poetry slam yourself, then come along to the workshop that takes place before the reading. More about this soon here on rausgegangen.
