Description
Croatia rediviva: Ča, Kaj, Što – baštinski dani is a Croatian poetry festival founded in 1991 by poet Drago Štambuk. Usually held in mid-July in the central square of Selca on Brač Island, poets recite their own works in Croatia's three dialects: Čakavian, Kajkavian, and Štokavian. The most outstanding poet (poeta oliveatus) is honored with an olive wreath, a verse selected by the recipient and founder is engraved on a white Brač marble plaque, and displayed on the Wall of Poetry.
