“The Struga Poetry Evenings started in 1962 with a series of readings by a number of Macedonian poets in honour of the two brothers, Konstantin and Dimitar Miladinov, great intellectuals, teachers, and writers, born in Struga in the early 19th century. Konstantin Miladinov is considered to be the founder of modern Macedonian poetry and each year the festival officially opens with his memorable poem “Longing for the South” (“T’ga za jug”) written during his student days in Moscow.”

“… By 1966, the SPE turned into an international poetry event and, consequently, an international poetry award called “The Golden Wreath” was established, given to a world renowned living poet for his poetic oeuvre or life achievement in the field of poetry. The first recipient of this award was W. H. Auden. Two years ago the SPE and UNESCO established a close cooperation and jointly promoted a new award called “The Bridges of Struga” for the best first poetry book by young authors from all over the world.”

“Despite the tremendous difficulties and harsh realities that the festival has had to live with—the fall of Yugoslavia, the war in Bosnia, the Kosovo crisis, the political and ethnic clashes in Macedonia, the terrorist crisis after September 11th attacks, a number of olitical and economic embargos imposed on the region, the Festival managed to go on and is currently the oldest festival in the world, held in continuation for 45 years. It has successfully flourished and is now one of the most important poetry events in the modern world. And that is its a tribute to world poetry and the poets.”

According to Wikipedia on Struga, the Struga Poetry Evenings event is the world’s largest poetry gathering “attended every year by at least 20,000 people from all over the world.”
