International Poetry Event - looking for scientists

[Peter McGrath]

The climax of the fourth edition of the International Poetry 
Competition "Castello di Duino - Poesia e Solidarietà Linguaggio dei 
Popoli", the main purpose of which is to build a cultural bridge among 
all the nations of the world through poetry meant as a varied and 
intimate discipline, will take place on Friday- Sunday 7-9 March, with 
a 'Handshaking' event for scientists on the morning of Sunday 9 March.
The general event includes an international photography exhibition, a 
literary tour thought the city of Trieste, several poetry readings, a 
prize-giving ceremony and a meeting called "Handshaking" between 
scientists and poets, meant to be a sort of cultural exchange between 
the experience of scientists coming from all over the word telling 
something about their work, their life and/or their choice of coming to 
live here in Trieste from one side and the young international poets 
from the other. The general tone of the meeting will be rather informal 
and both scientists and poets should simply tell to all the presents 
something about their life.
The organizers are currently seeking scientists to be part of this 
latest event to bring their own personal contributions to the 
initiative.
