International Poetry Garden

Leipzig itself becomes a sprawling, multilingual poem with the "International Poetry Garden" project. Forget a fenced-in green space; this vibrant initiative celebrates the city's diverse voices. Anyone in Leipzig can contribute – a heartfelt sonnet in German, a free-verse exploration in Arabic, a playful limerick in English, a poignant haiku in Japanese, a rhyming fable in French, a powerful verse in Ukrainian, or a moving narrative in Russian – all are welcome. The aim? To scatter these poems throughout the city, displayed in cafes, on walls, anywhere people gather. Poetry readings will bring the written word to life. Forget a designated park; the International Poetry Garden thrives everywhere in Leipzig, a testament to the city's rich tapestry of cultures and languages.
