The Vilnius Camarade at Paviljono knygų savaitgalis - Book Weekend November Saturday 30th 2019 https://www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/vilnius The European Camarade came to Lithuania! New avant-garde and literary collaborations marked this unique live event as poets from Vilnius and across Europe presented new works, made for the night, in pairs.

I was asked by the brilliant Ausra Kaziliunaite to curate a European Camarade during the Paviljonas Book Festival in Vilnius this past November 30th 2019.

It was mostly visiting poets and Lithuanian poets, and the latter, those of the contemporary Lithuanian scene, are amazing. It’s a cracking time for interesting poetry in the Baltic in general, but especially in Vilnius. And friends from Russia, Latvia, Romania came too.

I had the chance to collaborate with poet music monster Zygimantas Kurdika. I met him in London performing a few years back and his work is completely unique and brilliant. We improv’d hard and just had 36 questions for each other, trying to expose our psychologies to the people foolish enough to attend.
