Edition 2025 — Printemps des Poètes
The 27th edition of Printemps des Poètes took place from March 14 to 31, 2025, on the theme "Poésie Volcanique" (Volcanic Poetry). A theme particularly resonant in the Auvergne region, where the volcanic geology of Haute-Loire fueled poetic inspiration. The media library of Le Puy-en-Velay, bookstores, and schools offered readings, workshops, meetings, and performances celebrating the eruptive force of poetry.

27th Edition — "Poésie Volcanique" — March 14 to 31, 2025
The theme "Poésie Volcanique" for this 27th edition found a particular echo in Haute-Loire, a land of volcanoes and basalt landscapes. The local program skillfully wove connections between the telluric power of the Haute-Loire territory and the creative energy of contemporary poetry.
Program in Haute-Loire
The media library of Le Puy-en-Velay offered a program centered around the volcanic theme: selections of works, poetry readings by librarians, a podcast of about ten poems to listen to online, and interactive activities. The bookstore Le Chat Perché organized readings and poetic moments for children aged 2 to 4, led by Claudine Van Beneden. The departmental media library of Haute-Loire coordinated actions within the network of libraries in the department. Schools in Haute-Loire hosted poets for meetings and writing workshops as part of the regional program for the Poetry Week organized by the Academy of Clermont-Ferrand.
