ROCÍO CERÓN EN EL POETRY PARNASSUS

"Entre el martes y el sábado de la pasada semana se realizó en Londres el festival Poetry Parnassus, en el que poetas de todos los países olímpicos celebraron la poesía. En el programa había diversas lecturas, performances y debates, pero uno de las citas más populares fue el "bombardeo de poesía" del colectivo chileno Casagrande, que inundó el cielo londinense con 100.000 poemas de autores contemporáneos como Seamus Heaney, Alain Mabanckou, Kay Ryan o Santiago Barcaza (vía The Guardian)."
