Partners and supporters: Yunus Emre Enstitüsü, Hubris Publishing house, Vilnius University Institute of Asian and Transcultural Studies, the Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania, Turkish Embassy in Vilnius, Taiwan Resource Centre for Chinese Studies

The "Poetry from the East" readings were born from the observation that direct translations of literature from Asian and other less common languages in Lithuania are still not very widespread, and translations often rely on English or other more popular languages. Therefore, with this project, we aim to encourage experts in various Asian languages and cultures to engage with poetic thought and use their knowledge to contribute to presenting linguistic and poetic diversity to our society.
