There was some consolation for those who couldn't be in Rotterdam for the Poetry International Festival on Wednesday evening, 21st June. The appearances of two Dutch poets, Piet Gerbrandy and Elma van Haren, were broadcast live in video and stereo on the Dutch section of Poetry International Web.

Gerbrandy appeared in an international programme around 8pm, and Van Haren around 9.30pm. Both of their readings were broadcast live on the website and a simultaneous English translation of the poems was shown as subtitles. 

Thanks to technical developments, it is now possible to bring live poetry appearances not just to audiences at the venue and but also to PIW-site visitors wherever they are situated. We hope to bring further live streaming events to you in the near future.
