Den 1. oktober (søndag) læser jeg min lyrik på Nordatlantens Brygge på Christianshavn. På dansk og også på polsk, så publikum kunne høre deres originale polske lyd. Det bliver et sæt af mine digte oversat af Janina Katz & Uffe Harder. Der vil også være forfattere fra Færøerne, Island og Grønland og den berømte Muniam Alfaker, hvis poesi jeg sætter stor pris på.
