A night of poetry at the Co-Cathedral
The first-of-its-kind event, being held ahead of World Poetry Day, will take the form of two poetical tours through St John’s side chapels
St John’s Co-Cathedral and Inizjamed are getting together for an evening of poetry on March 17, ahead of World Poetry Day on March 21.
The evening takes its title − Inħoll l-Ilħna u l-Ilsna l-Oħra − from the poem Mestiza by Myriam Montoya, in its Maltese translation by Simone Galea, published in xtaqt li kont merkurju (Inizjamed, 2022). It echoes the spirit of an evening where poetry will resound across eight chapels in as many languages.
The first-of-its-kind event will take the form of two poetical tours through the Co-Cathedral’s side chapels, each dedicated to a different language of the Knights of the Order of St John, and each carrying its own distinct language and literary tradition.
