Isma’ l-intervista sħiħa hawnhekk. Hawnhekk issib il-programm kollu. Il-Festival jibda nhar l-Erbgħa u jibqa’ sejjer sal-Ġimgħa. Il-programm tal-attivitajiet jinkludi 17-il attività fosthom tnedijiet u preżentazzjonijiet ta’ kotba, taħditiet tematiċi, u anki Palk Ħieles. Dis-sena qed jipparteċipaw 8 eżebituri li kollha qed joffru kotba bi skontijiet speċjali għal dawn it-tlitt ijiem. Magħhom jingħaqdu dipartimenti universitarji u xejn inqas minn 5 għaqdiet studenteski, li lkoll għenew biex din l-ewwel edizzjoni virtwali tal-Festival ma tagħmilx għajb lil ta’ qabilha. Il-mistieden speċjali huwa l-poeta, kittieb ta’ tifkiriet awtobijografiċi u proża Mark Doty. Doty kien l-ewwel Amerikan li rebaħ il-Premju T.S. Eliot fir-Renju Unit fl-1995, u fl-2008 rebaħ il-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb fl-Istati Uniti bil-ktieb Fire to Fire: new and selected poems (HarperCollins, 2008). Huwa l-awtur ta’ diversi ġabriet ta’ poeżija, fosthom Bethlehem in Broad Daylight (D.R. Godine, 1991), A Swarm, A Flock, A Host: A Compendium of Creatures (Prestel, 2013), u Deep Lane (W.W. Norton, 2015) u anki ġabriet ta’ memoirs bħal Firebird (HarperCollins, 1999), Still Life with Oysters and Lemon: On Objects and Intimacy (Beacon Press, 2000) u Dog Years (HarperCollins, 2007). Doty kemm-il darba tqabbel ma’ poeti bħal James Merrill, Walt Whitman u C.P. Cavafy minħabba l-eleganza u l-intelliġenza fil-versi tiegħu. L-aktar ktieb riċenti tiegħu huwa What Is the Grass – Walt Whitman in My Life (W.W. Norton, 2020). Bħalissa Doty huwa Professur Distint u Direttur ta’ Writers House fl-Università ta’ Rutgers.
