Starting the Stanza The wordsinhere formula for a good Stanza: 4 poets and/or writers, from different corners of the globe wordsinhere presents STANZA III, the third season premier of Amsterdam's unique night of international sounds and stanzas. The Open Stanza returns! THURSDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER Doors open at 8pm; line breaks start at 8:45pm. Entrance: 5 euros. This month's lineup includes Megan M. Garr (US), founder of wordsinhere and Editor of the lit mag Versal; and a band that at press time remains nameless, but that will play the whole night through if we let them. It's a party. It's a poetry. Don't miss the two on one stage. NEWS So you're a writer, you live in the Netherlands, and you're wondering just what is this wordsinhere thing. You're thinking, maybe I could get involved - but how? wordsinhere is still here because of the writers which make it — people, like you, who have actively become involved in one way or the other to help with projects, develop new ones, and offer their talents to help infuse the Dutch literary scene with its international energy. beINvolved is our new spin on the force behind what keeps wordsinhere alive: you. Artists, writers, musicians (and even business people!) working together for the love of language. On our beINvolved pages you can find out how you can actively influence your literary community. Get in touch today!
