VII Kerouac Festival New York

The 7th edition of the “Kerouac Festival” returns with three days of multilingual poetry that mixes the word with music and performances and takes the poetic language from the page to the stage.

Poetry mixes with music in this meeting of poetic voices from both sides of the Atlantic. A cultural synergy as a communicating vessel between cities and countries that takes musicians and poets from one continent to another, with artistic collaborations that enrich the poetic language and its expansion towards the stage, either as a play, classical reading or pop and hip-hop music show.
