Poets from all over the world will gather to celebrate the power of the word.
The International Poetry Festival of Medellín

Contemporary Hierophany
By Jairo Guzmán
Translation Nicolás Suescún
The International Poetry Festival of Medellín is evidently an essential act that delves deeply into the human soul, that exalts the celebratory condition of being and inscribes it in the context of the exercise of freedom, from the power of poetry. Its light has a bearing on conscience, on the perception of the public for whom the spirit prospers, resisting the affronts of a reality overwhelmed by violence and degradation. On the level of its dreams, the Festival is visualized as ceremonial center in which poetry becomes a channel connecting us with the sacred, with the emancipating forces of being, with its purest root in poetry, for life and for the transformation of the inner world of those who fall under its influence. This celebration places us in an orbit beyond history, of cultures that interacts through its representatives: The poets from the five continents.
