“Agitation with Words”

Jan Štolba, a poet, prose writer, jazz musician and literary critic, publishes his texts and essays in cultural and literary magazines and dailies (Tvar, A2, Host). His 2011 collection of criticism “Lomcování se slovy” (“Agitation with Words”) follows his 2006 book “Nedopadající džbán” (“Unfalling Jug”) which was published by Torst and in 2007 won the F. X. Šalda Prize. Now Štolba “agitates with words” in over 52 poetry books and contemporary Czech prose titles. The evening will conclude with a jazz duel between Štolba and the poet and saxophonist Vratislav Brabenec.

The evening will be hosted by Jan Šulc, who will lead a discussion with the writer.
