Reykjavík Poetics #14: Mad as a Hatter
Wednesday 28 September 2024. Mengi, Reykjavík.
This time around, we will be making social space for passion or even anger. Each of our readers will take the stage and rant for 4 minutes. It might be political, absurd, or whatever gets them going for 4 minutes. And you can prepare a rant too! We will have a rant hat for you to drop your rant and will make space for some random rant reading during the event.
We’ll have complimentary drinks, an incredible atmosphere, and some extravagant hats to wear. We promise. If you have a particularly interesting hat, please bring it with you!
The event is curated by Grayson Del Faro and Martyna Karolina Daniel and will be an opportunity to remember the late event series Stranger Than Fiction that took place in Listastofan some years ago.
Scheduled Ranters include:
Bergrún Anna Hallsteinsdóttir | Skáld.is
Miriam Petra Ómarsdóttir Awad | Website
Mómó Sóley
Rachel Corvo
Zachary Melton
Free entrance and everyone is welcome.
The doors open at 19:30 and the readings will start at 20:00.
RVK Poetics events are community-oriented, where we celebrate the vibrant voices of local writers and showcase new writing. From poetry to prose, fiction to non-fiction, we invite you to immerse yourself in the captivating stories and imaginative worlds crafted by local authors.
