Seven years ago, I spoke with the former chief executive of the London Development Agency, architect Peter Bishop, at the launch of his book, Temporary City. I asked him if there was any place for poetry in the big cities. Of course, he told me, and he recounted architect Jaime Lerner, who reached the position of mayor of the Brazilian city of Curitiba: “In 1979 he was re-elected, and he wanted to change the city. The only thing was that the City Hall was already full of urbanists, architects, and engineers, so he gave them the hardest task he could think of, just to keep them busy, and during all this time he would rather imagine the city alongside poets, writers, and artists, as he knew they could bring new, creative ideas, of how the city may go on. And Curitiba is now seen as one of the most successful cities in the world in terms of urban planning and development. I think that we have forgotten just how much of this truly wonderful experience that is the city, is poetry.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

I fear – I may add – that we keep forgetting the wonderful experience called poetry itself, and we let it linger in libraries or on the shelves of the most obscure bookstores, because “poetry doesn’t sell”. To poetry, book has become a coffin – it is ceremonially respected, from a sterile distance, God forbid we may taint it or it may taint us. For it to breathe in and out, it should be brought close to us, even in the street. This is why I was happy to learn the theme of this year’s Street Delivery Festival – “Poetry is in the Street”. And, in my case, poetry has really encountered architecture. Last winter, I took part in two workshops organized by the Mincu students and architects, gathered in the I’M UAU team, and we imagined a project for their event, Street Delivery Quinet, taking place between 7-9 June, when the street between the Universities would become pedestrian only.<\/p>\n
