Poezija to Go is a project dedicated to encouraging young people, and all those who feel young at heart, to read more poetry. It was launched by writer and poet Sonja Zubović, inspired by her love of language and guided by the motto: “Poetry is a laboratory of language, and language is the nucleus of national identity.”
The project expanded to social media in 2015 and has since achieved strong visibility and sustained popularity.
The project has also included the well-received Poetry in the City programmes in 2019 and 2020, which promoted poetry through city light posters. In addition, numerous interpretations of poems by contemporary Croatian poets have been recorded by dramatic artists, along with the radio show Meeting Poets on 808 online radio etc.
Since 2015, Poezija to Go has continuously organised poetry evenings and meetings with poets.
These events support the presence of high-quality contemporary poetry through live interaction with audiences. All events are recorded and made permanently available online, ensuring accessibility to a wider audience in Croatia and beyond, as well as for future generations.
As part of the previous gatherings, around fifty distinguished Croatian authors have recited their poetry: the late Irena Vrkljan and Robert Roklicer, late Andrijana Škunca, Enerika Bijač, Božica Jelušić, Enes Kišević, Drago Štambuk, Darija Žilić, Ivana Šojat, Diana Burazer, Sonja Manojlović, Lana Derkač, Ružica Cindori, Tomica Bajsić, Miroslav Kirin, Ivan Herceg, Andrijana Kos Lajtman, Ivan Babić, Tomislav Domović, Krešimir Bagić, Dražen Katunarić, Đuro Vidmarović, Miroslav Mićanović, Branko Čegec, Zvjezdana Jembrih, and many others.
The project is realised with the support of the Ministry of Culture.
