The event, known as European Literature Night, aims to bring some of Europe’s brightest literary talents to New York audiences and shine the spotlight on "the best of contemporary European literature," according to the Polish Cultural Institute in New York.

"It will be an evening of cultural exchanges and conversations exploring the way history has shaped the current crises facing Europe and the power of literature to unearth the truths about how we live and understand the role of writers in times of war and political upheavals," the institute said on its website

It added that the event would "introduce 11 European authors through readings and discussions" and feature "multilingual readings, a musical performance, panel discussions and Q&As."

Participants will include Polish American poet Anna Frajlich-Zając.
