Reykjavík Poetics is pleased to present Desire Lines, a curated reading featuring the following writers from Iceland, India, USA, and the UK:
• Supratik Baralay
• Jonas Moody
• Lydia Holt
• Helga Soffía Einarsdóttir
• Shruthi Basappa
The evening is curated by April Dobbins.
Oxford Dictionary defines a desire line as “an unofficial track formed when people walk the shortest or easiest way between two places in preference to a constructed but longer or less convenient path.” We will explore this theme as a metaphor for migration, movement, trajectory, desire, belonging, rebellion, disobedience, and so much more.
RVK Poetics: Desire Lines will be held on Wednesday, 26th November 2025, at Mengi (Óðinsgata 2, 101 Reykjavík), an intimate performance venue in downtown Reykjavík.
Doors open at 19:30, with readings beginning promptly at 20:00. As seating is limited, we encourage listeners to arrive early.
The event will be hosted in English.
Refreshments will be provided, and the event is free to attend.
We are grateful for the support of the Reykjavík UNESCO City of Literature office.
