The story

Poetry Spring Neringa in Neringa

Poetry Spring Neringa is the Nida stop of Poezijos pavasaris, Lithuania's national poetry festival running annually since 1965. Lithuanian and international poets read at E. Jonuso House in Nida as part of the festival's countrywide touring program, usually in May, alongside the release of that year's Poezijos pavasaris literary almanac.

Lithuania's oldest and best-known poetry festival sends its touring program of readings each spring to dozens of towns, and Nida, tucked into the pine-covered Curonian Spit within Neringa, has long been one of its stops.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The event's value comes from its lineage: Poezijos pavasaris is one of the world's longest continuously running poetry festivals, and its brief Nida stop lets a small resort town on the Curonian Spit host the same touring poets who read in Vilnius's largest venues

02

The mystery stays covered

Jonuso House, a building tied to Nida's history as an artists' retreat, giving the event a setting that reinforces its literary content rather than just hosting it incidentally

03

The city starts moving

Because the readings are folded into the national festival's almanac and prize cycle, attendees hear work that is often newly written rather than previously published
