Food and Poetry

The 5th Poetry Downtown Festival is canceled—unable to proceed as Drive Music Publishing didn't grant us the copyrights to celebrate the extraordinary life and work of 'Warrior Poet'.

Poetry Downtown is more then only poetry. It’s also a festival with a strong gastronomy element as we eat during Poetry Downtown all kind of local dishes.
