The 40th edition of the Nosside World Poetry Prize makes a prestigious stop in London. Its international journey after its opening at the University of Havana is continuing.
The Consulate General of Italy in the British capital, in collaboration with Il Circolo, will host the event.
Consul General Domenico Bellantone will inaugurate the meeting which has been included in a cultural and promotional program aimed at the large Italian community in London.
A highlight of the evening will be a talk with Professor Pasquale Amato, founder of the Nosside Prize, moderated by Luisella Mazza.
Founded in 1983 in Reggio Calabria, the Prize is a unique competition for unpublished poetry. It has welcomed poets from 108 countries and recognized work in 160 native and local languages. It stands out for its commitment to multilingualism and multimedia, accepting entries in five official languages (Italian, English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese) and in written, video, or musical form.
Special guest Mukul Dahal, poet and Grand Prize Winner of the 2009 edition will share his experience and read his winning poem in Nepali, accompanied by music by Maestro Dario Zema. Now a lecturer at the University of Glasgow, Dahal embodies the Prize’s global and inclusive spirit.
The evening will close with a delicious tribute to Mediterranean heritage. The launch of the Dolce del Premio di Poesia Nosside, created by Master Pastry Chef Angelo Musolino, President of CONPAIT will be a highlight. Inspired by ancient Mediterranean flavors, this dessert honors the poet Nosside of Locri, the symbol of the Prize.
Join us for an inspiring celebration of poetry, culture, and international dialogue, as the Nosside Prize continues to build bridges between voices from around the world.
