Versopolis is a European-wide project that functions as a proffesional network and a web based platform for connecting european national poetry scenes. These are represented by an anually selected cast of poets and various international poetry & literature festivals, who oblige themselves to invite a set number of the poets at hand. Also, with the very language specific nature of poetry, Versopolis takes care for the translations of the works by the poets involved, thus in the first place even enabeling such a project.

Besides communicating the works of the selected poets to the festival selectors, Versopolis.com strives to also position itself %ndash; by means of a webportal %ndash; as a nodal point for european poetry. As this is otherwise predominantely dispersed on the web on a national basis, Versopolis aims for a more open and diverse european culture of poetry. As such, Versopolis is supported by the European Commission’s Creative Europe programme.
