To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the UNESCO Cities of Literature network, Edinburgh City of Literature invited each City to commission a poem to be released online today, on the first day of the Edinburgh meeting. Here is the poem from Leeuwarden, written by Simon Oosting. The English translation is made by Preston Losack. #AllroadsleadtoEdinburghhttps://leeuwardencityofliterature.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/FY-The-roads-that-lead-to-Edinburgh-scaled.jpg25602560
