| + | Besides communicating the works of the selected poets to the festival selectors, [[Versopolis.com]] strives to position itself – by means of a web portal – as a node for European poetry. As poetry is still quite dispersed on the web and mostly sticks within national or at least language boundaries, 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. | ||
