Québec (Canada), a UNESCO Creative City of Literature since 2017, together with the Festival ‘Québec en toutes lettres’, organized virtually ‘La grande traversée poétique’(The great poetic journey) from October, 23rd to 25th 2020.
On this unique occasion, more than 200 poets and creative writers from 20 countries gathered online and share their literary pieces through readings, performances and videos.
