The Provincial Center for Book and Literature (CPLL in Spanish) has designed a series of activities for the summer, aimed at promoting reading, healthy recreation, and the dissemination of the best of the local catalog in different spaces.
Las Tunas, Cuba.- The Poesía Viva (Living Poetry) workshop, led by writer Aleido Rodríguez, is one of the initiatives on the agenda, scheduled for every Friday in July and August, at 10:00 am, at the headquarters of the CPLL, located at Calle Gonzalo de Quesada, 121, in the capital city.
Likewise, the Asociación Hermanos Saíz (AHS in Spanish), the CPLL, the Sanlope publishing house, and the Pablo Armando Fernández literary promotion center are promoting a Literary Crusade, which reaches different communities, being one of the novelties of the program. San José and Primero neighborhoods and other locations benefit from text readings, book sales, and presentations by troubadours and oral narrators, among other activities.
On the other hand, the space Traigo tu Lluvia (I bring your rain) reaches a variety of institutions, bringing workers closer to titles and topics of social interest, and increasing their general culture. And, although gatherings such as Book Thursdays are not taking place during the summer, Summer Readings are taking their place, intending to gain new audiences.
Saimy K. Torres, director of the Pablo Armando Fernández Literary Promotion Centre, said that among the scheduled invitations is also Virtual City, created in the context of the Book and Literature Fair, with book downloads and other attractions linking literature and cyberspace.
He also commented to 26 that the Book Festival continues to be held, with "Jesús Menéndez" being the next territory to host the event, on 18 July. This is a way of extending the Book and Literature Fair to the municipalities of Tunisia, throughout the year, beyond its provincial chapter.
Readings in tobacco factories, publications on social media, and the celebration of Orange Day, on the 25th of each month, are other activities planned for July and August, to make books and everything inherent to this paper universe another option for the family of Las Tunas.
