We are honoured to present our two-poet performance ‘A Tale of Two’ at the ‘Poetry on the Lake 2022’ festival on the gorgeous Isola di San Giulio.
Poetry on the Lake is the event founded in 2001 by the director and organizer Gabriel Griffin,[1] the seat is on Isola di San Giulio. Since 2001 Kevin Bailey has co-organised and judged at the annual Poetry on the Lake festival held at Orta San Giulio in Italy, the antique island on Lake Orta,[2] northern Italy. Annual events include the spring international poetry competition (prizes are donated by Alessi[3]) and the autumn celebration[4] described by the British Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy on the South Bank Show, ITV, 6 December 2009 as: “…perhaps the smallest but possibly the most perfect poetry festival in the world”. Events take place on the island, in the square of Orta, on Sacro Monte in the woods around the chapels,[5] in the historic palaces (Palazzo Ubertini, Villa Bossi) on board ship (‘una barca di poeti’- a poetic cruise),[6] in the neighbouring towns and villages: Omegna,[7] Orta, Pella, Varallo, Invorio and Ameno.
Dates of the festival: 28 – 30 October 2022.
