The annual Book Gathering series unfolds with two themes for 2015: 'Poetry Gatherings' and 'Into the Wild'.
Event Overview
- 'Poetry Gatherings': A series of 4 poetry sessions + 1 play-reading activity. These gatherings aim to explore the poetic side of Macau through shared reading and provide a space for local readers to recite or perform their own works.
- 'Into the Wild': A series combining reading and action. Through four different topics and 'grand tour' dialogues, it shares two ways of viewing the world and measures the distance between humanity and nature.
