This is a sad year for the International Poetry Festival in Kosovo due to Covid- 19 Pandemic that turmoil the entire Globe and should be marked as something we never do want to happen in the future.
N E V E R !!!
In this 6th edition of the Festival we were able to gather another 50 poets, new poets that are in Kosovo, virtually for the first time. We were able to bring poets and make bonds to us and to each other. Every year we have new poets because we want to have more new friends in the World, to publish them in Albanian Language and publish our poets in world languages.
The prominent World Poets came and left their blueprints with their originality and outstanding performance. They honored us just as you are honoring us with your presence whilst to us remain the task and endeavor to maintain and improve our aim of celebrating the beautiful word, good friendship, peace, exchange of experience, cultural exchange and human fraternity.
What an experience we earned in the previous editions making it possible to always bring new with unique culture and heritage. We are dedicated to the Festival to preserve its fundamental criteria which are bringing the most authentic and most original poets in the world today. They represent their Culture and in particular their Poetry as extremely intimate and individual acts of creation that made their name not only in their respective country of origin but going beyond their borders in a Global Art Arena, respectively.
But this year it shall go Virtually, Electronically. We shall promote authors via Video Archive; publish at www.fekt.org and all possible social media, as well as TV ALB, See in Sweden as the cause of the Pandemics. Sadly!
We wish you pleasant moments during the Festival broadcast and gain the most beautiful human experience promoting beauty of diversity, Peace, Tolerance, Creativity, and promoting our Human Values.
Take care
