SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Evenings: Loveliness

Cuteness is everywhere\, and it seems almost impossible to resist. \nBut that is precisely why it is worth asking whether it is really as innocent as it appears.

SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Evenings: Contemporary World Poetry
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Novo Mesto Summer Evenings festival\, Goga Publishing House invites you to the literary evening Contemporary World Poetry\, taking place on Wednesday\, 19 August 2026\, at 8.00 pm. \nCONTEMPORARY WORLD POETRY; DAI WEINA\, KATJA KOLŠEK AND KLAVDIJA KOTAR / LITERARY EVENING \nWhat connects Beijing and Novo Mesto? At first glance\, they are separated by thousands of kilometres\, different languages and distinct cultural environments\, yet poetry creates unexpected bridges between them. Words can travel farther than people—from one language to another\, from one culture to another\, from one city to another. \nAt the peak of the Novo Mesto Summer Evenings festival\, Chinese poet Dai Weina\, one of the most prominent authors of her generation\, will visit Novo Mesto. Through her poetry collection A Single Bloom in the Dark\, which was recently published for the first time in Slovenian translation\, we will explore contemporary Chinese poetry and the journeys poems take as they move between languages\, cultures and continents. \nThe poet will be joined on stage by Chinese-to-Slovenian translator Katja Kolšek\, who will speak about the challenges and joys of translating poetry. The evening will be hosted by Klavdija Kotar. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent webpage \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS \nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians.
