About the event

In 2026 the Riva del Garda civic library is again running a poetry-themed reading group. After the cycle dedicated to Emily Dickinson and Chandra Livia Candiani, which ended last December, Stefania Santoni leads a new journey of discovery through women's voices: twelve poets, one for each month of the year, with readings, reflections and shared discussion.

The group weaves together poetry, tarot and lunar rhythm: a different voice each month, each meeting a card as a threshold, each circle a space for listening, resonance and shared words. Not a course, but a passage; not interpretation, but relation — poetry as a living gesture that happens between the one who reads and the one who listens.

A slow, cyclical, feminine time, to be together under the same moon.

About Riva del Garda

Riva del Garda sits at the northern tip of the lake, where the cliffs of the Rocchetta drop almost straight into the water and the Sarca plain opens towards Arco.
