An educational approach to poetry, this series of meetings is dedicated to exploring poetic language and its significance in contemporary literature.

This activity is part of a seminar structured in four sessions aimed at bringing poetry closer to the public from an educational perspective, analyzing key concepts of literary creation, and promoting dialogue between the author and attendees.
