Almost Island Dialogues 2026 (Day 1)
Almost Island in collaboration with G5A presents the 16th Almost Island Dialogues, a three-day gathering of international poets and writers from 10–12 April 2026. Conceived as a space for literary exchange that threatens, confronts or bypasses the marketplace by its depth and seriousness and form, the Dialogues bring together voices from across geographies. The writers meet to engage in readings and deep conversations that centre around issues of craft, form, and content as well as the context of writing in different cultures.
