The story

Festival Internacional de Poesia Honduras in Tegucigalpa

Tegus Si Canta brings poets from more than a dozen countries to UNAH's campus each year, then extends programming into nearby towns including San Juancito, Cantarranas, Talanga, and Ojojona. Distinct from the older, western Honduras-based Los Confines festival, each edition honors a specific writer and pairs Honduran poets with dozens of international guests over several days.

Poets from more than a dozen countries converge on the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Honduras each year for the opening of the Festival Internacional de Poesia Tegus Si Canta, an event whose title plays on Tegucigalpa's shortened nickname among residents.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its most distinguishing feature is geographic reach beyond a single stage: rather than concentrating all programming at UNAH, the festival spreads readings into four additional towns around the capital, turning what could be a campus-bound literary event into a small regional circuit

02

The mystery stays covered

Each edition also carries a specific dedication, honoring an individual writer such as Honduran poet Efrain Lopez Nieto or Salvadoran poet Otoniel Guevara, giving successive editions distinct identities rather than repeating an identical annual format
