Hello, friends of the best coffee in the world.
I live in a city of poets, where literary cafés and poetry readings are very common.
However, I wasn't that involved in them until I met my husband, @abelarte, who is a writer.
Since then, I have participated in multiple poetry readings in various provinces across the country. I have been able to meet numerous writers of all genres and variations.
I haven't written any poems, but I've been able to read texts by other authors such as José Martí, Nicolás Guillén, Benedetti, and other well-known poets.
What I've enjoyed most about all these experiences is experiencing new events, new cities, and being able to share my art among so many new artists.
Typically, each reading session is divided into blocks. And each reading block is divided by a musician. Typically, they are troubadours. In fact, on several occasions, these singer-songwriters have set poems by writers attending these events to music.
However, just as I have immersed myself and learned since I became involved in this world, they have also changed, and now literary events include concert music, in addition to the new trova genre.
Literary events are completely different from musical events. In many of them, despite having a script, it is not very rigid, so anyone present can share their talent.
Another characteristic is the selection of venues. They tend to be quiet, small, and intimate. They usually take place in coffee shops that qualify as literary cafés.
These literary events are undergoing a completely changing cycle. However, what hasn't changed and won't change is the relationship between literature and coffee.
Wherever there's a poet, there's coffee, and vice versa.
