LIVING POETS CLUB
Once a month, the Living Poets Club meets to talk and listen to poetry. Over the years, these meetings, coordinated by Teresa Coutinho, have taken place alternately between D. Maria II and Casa Fernando Pessoa. In 2024, the Club continues to divide itself between its activity in Lisbon and traveling around the country, bringing the voices of contemporary poetry to a wider audience, to locations where, otherwise, they would only reach them in recorded format. This time it goes through the TBA. After each session, the recordings are available in podcast format for listening on SoundCloud, Spotify, Youtube and Apple Podcasts.
ELLEN LIMA WASSU is an indigenous poet and researcher. He published Yby Kûatiara – Um Livro de Terra (Urutau, 2023), Ixé ygara returning pra 'y'kûá (Urutau, 2021) and is part of the work Volta para teu terra (Urutau, 2021), an anthology of anti-fascist and anti-racist poets in Portugal . Her practice relates art, poetry, criticism, essay writing, good meetings, bathing in the river and talking with flowers.
TERESA COUTINHO is an actress, creator and playwright. He created Peço a Palavra (2023), Sem Medo (2023), Solo (2021, at TBA), Distante de Caryl Churchill (2021), O Eterno Debate (2020), A Leveza das Ciências (radio show, 2020) and Ways of Looking (2017). She is the coordinator of the Clube dos Poetas Vivos.
