Nigeria in Poetry LIVE... Relaunch of Lyrikline, Berlin Poems by more than 850 poets in 58 languages, read in and translated into 55 languages – that’s what the website lyrikline already offers now. lyrikline has been online since 1999. At the time a pioneer, today it is the world archive of poetry with partners in more than 40 countries. The new lyrikline will be going online on 1 September 2013 – featuring completely new, hitherto unknown possibilities for exploring the world of international poetry. With thematic and formal categories, a dynamic search function and cross-referencing, lyrikline offers completely new ways of accessing poetry and enables individual poems to be found quickly.

At the relaunch on 1 September 2013, the new website and its various functions will be presented live in c-base Berlin (the “space station beneath Berlin-Mitte”), and via live streaming all over the world. The presentation will feature video links with partners and poets around the world, well-wishing messages and readings.
