Every two years, the POETRY programme forms the multifaceted supporting programme for the Münster International Poetry Meeting with the awarding of the City of Münster Prize for International Poetry.

POETRY has set itself the goal of translating poetry into other forms of artistic expression – be it another form of language, performing arts, images or video clips.

POETRY 2026 will take place from 8 June to 5 July.
