The Gdansk Poets' Club (Gdański Klub Poetów) is a team of people who share love for poetry. It includes well known writers as well as beginning artists from Poland and abroad. Quite a few of them such as Agnieszka Smugla are active members of ePublisher community.
The team meets every first and third Thursday of the month at The Oliwa Library (Biblioteka Oliwska) - the branch of The Joseph Conrad Voivodeship and City Public Library in Gdansk. People share their texts and knowledge there. Every month they organize poetry evenings. The members of the club have already published three anthologies with the poems of the Club members and invited the guests: "Aspects 2016", "Love, or..." and "Aspects 2017".
Moreover, the Club members regularly organize The Oliwa Poetry Day, where - among others - they hang "Poetic Laundry" (the sheets with the poems) in public space, there are bands presenting sung poetry and the poets read their poems on the stage. There is also a promotion of the latest poetic book of some Club members and during the event the Club team collects money for hospices.
The last but not the least, the Gdansk Poets' Club members are the organizers of cyclical poetry competitions such as "Share-Your-Poem Contest" in May and "Fears Are Everywhere" in November and promote young talented people.
