The book “Apontamentos da Margem” will be presented this Friday at the Municipal Library of Alcoutim. The presentation of the work written by the Poets of Guadana is part of the initiative “A Palavra Sexta à Noite”, monthly gatherings that open the doors of the Library at night with the aim of providing evenings of a cultural nature.
According to the Municipality of Alcoutim, the cross-border group “Poetas do Guadiana” is “comprised of poets and writers, with greater or lesser notoriety” and “emerged from a civic movement that seeks to culturally characterize the area at the tips of the Algarve's uprising in Portugal and the the Andalusian West of Spain as a meeting point for cultures».
The movement “does not cling to a school, a current, any other literary project other than stimulating creativity and the emergence of literary vocations. There is, within the group, complete freedom for each member to participate in their own way, with their own style and taste, across the border, while continuing to progress in each of the individual creative projects literary and follows its own direction and trend», adds the municipality.
