Rome poetry festival to mark chapter of success

Project underscores efforts to promote interest in Chinese literature among readers overseas, Yang Yang reports.

Phoenix Publishing & Media Group plans to host a China-Italy international poetry festival in Rome at the end of 2025, based on a mutual translation project of contemporary poems from the two countries, Yuan Nan, vice-president of Phoenix Publishing & Media Inc, says.

"Of all the literary forms, poetry is the one most suitable for dissemination, and has a strong impact on people from different cultures," Yuan says, adding that the PPMG and its Italian partner Delufa Press are both leading contemporary publishers of poetry.

In May, the PPMG and the Jiangsu Writers' Association organized a visit to Hungary and France, with writer and poet Han Dong as one of those representing Jiangsu province.
