Buddingh' Reading Club 2025
Meet the Newest Voices in Dutch-Language Poetry!
In honor of the C. Buddingh’ Prize, Poetry International hosts the Buddingh’ Reading Club each year—a series of four inspiring workshops where you’ll get to know the most promising debut poets of the year.
Each week, one nominated poet takes center stage—and joins the conversation! This is a unique opportunity to discuss their work, writing process, and the future of poetry. The sessions are online, in Dutch, and led by poet Ingmar Heytze.
This year's dates are: May 13th, May 21st, May 28th, and June 4th.
