At our third festival, we will dive into the topic of dualities.

​

Jennifer K. Dick will open the day with her poetry. Paige McLanahan and Dana Thomas will be in conversation with Julia Webster Ayuso on fast and slow travel and fashion, respectively. Robin Allison Davis will speak on her experience of health and illness and how she grappled with cancer shortly after moving to France.

​

And we will hear not just from established writers but emerging writers, too, from the American University of Paris MFA in creative writing program and the literary collective Paris Lit Up about the joys and challenges they face as they seek to launch their literary careers.

​

The day will be led by Gerald Richards, who has spent the past three decades leading and supporting creative writing and literacy nonprofits across the United States and Europe.

​

The 2027 Angers Literary Festival is made possible by the generous support of the de Groot Foundation. We will announce more speakers soon. Stay tuned!
