Poesitimen på Tøyen

Are you a poetry enthusiast or curious about poetry? Hear the authors read from their own poetry collections.

Welcome to Poesitimen på Deichman Tøyen this autumn! Relax, experience and discover new poetry—or simply discover poetry for the first time.

This is the final poetry session in a series of three such events.
