In celebration of cultural exchange and the expansive linguistic and immigrant heritages of Chicago, the Poetry Foundation partners with European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) for a multilingual poetry reading on European Day of Languages. Poems will be read in Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, and Spanish.  

Featured poets include Ruth Llana, Ondřej Macl, Audre Budrys Nakas reading Liūnė Sutema, Léon Pradeau, and Lea Schneider. Filling out the lineup are Nick Makoha and Raymond Antrobus, transatlantic contributors from the Black British Poetry folio in Poetry’s September issue.
