Two hundred artists took part in this year’s “Land of Poets” festival (8–9 November, Lviv). The festival featured 50 events across four venues and attracted over 5,000 visitors. A total of 400,000 hryvnias was raised for the humanitarian needs of the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Khartiia,” where Serhii Zhadan and Yuliia Paievska serve.
Thanks to the support of the Polish Institute, the festival hosted Polish writers and poets Andrzej Stasiuk, Ziemowit Szczerek, Krzysztof Czyżewski, and Ryszard Krynicki. Ukrainian literature was represented, among others, by Serhii Zhadan, Hryhorij Semenchuk and Ostap Slyvynsky.
