Far from being exclusively a celebration of Granada’s poetic wealth, 15  
artists from 11 countries are also included. The festival opened with evocative  
readings from the Romanian poet Ana Blandiana and the Israeli Shlomo Avayou and 
 continues with events involving poets from around the world, including the  
previous years’ winners of the Federico García Lorca International Poetry  
Prize.
 
Of course the spirit of Federico will be present throughout the festival  and 
the highlight on May 8 will take place in la Huerta de San Vicente, the  
summer residence of the García Lorca family. This event will involve readings  
from Argentine poet, Juan Gelman accompanied by the flamenco artist, Enrique  
Morente - such a fusion of flamenco and poetry is highly characteristic of  
poetic art of this region, yet is practiced and admired all over the Hispanic  
world.
