Great meet up of the PoetryLit! crew at the Rotterdam Poetry Festival - we were audience, not performers.   A great pleasure to meet the two men I had not met in real life before- despite being colleagues via the internet. Milla, founder and m.c. of PoetryLit! suggested  the team meet up in her country's international festival. A fantastic festival - I do recommend it.

We were lucky enough to hear the amazing poet, Ada Limon, American poet laureate.  And in between poetry events we managed to explore the amazing city - the most exciting experience a water taxi ride through the docks, and the sight of a walking tree. It must be the influence of the poetry!
