June 13-20 Sofia is hosting the 16th edition of the international literary festival CapitalLiterature. The theme this year is Poetry/Nature, dedicated to the bond between poetic art and the environment in a world in which nature is not a romantic hideaway but a question of survival.

The programme includes a poetry writing workshop for young people, poetry readings, lectures, discussions and a translation workshop. On June 13 there will be a literary reading at Hug Me gallery with the participation of poets Linda Gregerson, USA, Nadezhda Radulova, Bulgaria and Nick Laird, Northern Ireland.
