Poecítrics

Poecítrics is a festival that highlights the value of our landscape through the memory of the land and the word. Organized jointly by Todolí Citrus Fundació and Francisco Brines Fundació, it gives life to a project that is developed in a space with a great landscape value as El Bartolí and starred, among others, by the poems of Francisco Brines.

Todolí Citrus Fundació, with more than 500 varieties of citrus fruits from all over the world, has become one of the private spaces of greatest landscape value in the Valencian Country. In the same way, from Elca, the Francisco Brines Fundació has built one of the most important written spaces of the Spanish poetry of the 20th century.

Through poetry, Brines has evoked like no other the emotion of the Valencian landscape, the seasonal changes and the beauty of the citrus fruits that, as in the case of Todolí, surround the family home.

He who tells and he who sings; he who sows to return to the origins, to explain through citrus fruits the rumbs of history, and he who is capable of retaining moments in a single memorable verse, come together to celebrate this first edition of an evening of verses and citrus fruits.

This first edition of Poecítrics has the participation of Mario Obrero (Getafe, 2003), María Eloy-García (Màlaga, 1972) and Juan Carlos Mestre (Villafranca del Bierzo, 1957); three poets of recognized prestige that will make a journey through the verses of poets who have been accustomed to citrics through their words. From the classics to the most current ones, thus making a song to the Mediterranean.
