Free guided literary walk – Prague through the eyes of its poets

Part of the annual nationwide poetry festival Den poezie – no charge to participate.
Take a walking tour and explore the places associated with many of the poets who have lived in or loved Prague over its long history. Your guide, Lyn Davidson, is a San Francisco-based journalist, poet, and tour guide. On this approximately 2-hour tour, we will walk through beloved tourist places like Kampa and Charles Bridge, as well as some obscure corners of the city, always paying tribute to the spirits of the poets who have loved it through sharing details of their lives, loves, and words. We’ll get to know poets who include Jaroslav Seifert (Nobel Prize 1984), Karel Hynek Mácha (the Czech Byron), Jiří Orten (tragically killed by the Nazis at age 22), Vítězslav Nezval, Egon Bondy, Viola Fischerová, Vladimir Holan, Karel Kryl, and Ivan Martin Jirous (“Magor”), as well as foreign poets like Andre Breton and Allen Ginsburg, on whom the city also left its mark.
Meet in front of the hotel U Tří pštrosů (Dražického náměstí 76/12, 118 00 Praha 1) on the Malá strana side of Charles Bridge.
