Luna Miguel at Blue Metropolis Bleu Festival

The 20th edition of Blue Metropolis Bleu Festival brings Luna Miguel, a young Spanish author of six poetry books and editor at “PlayGround” magazine.

The Blue Metropolis Foundation produces this annual international literary festival, and offers a wide range of educational and social programs year-round, both in classrooms and online. These programs use reading and writing as therapeutic tools, encourage academic perseverance, and fight against poverty and isolation. On the occasion of the 20th Blue Metropolis Festival, which runs April 20–29, Spanish writer Luna Miguel has been invited to participate.

At the age of 20, Miguel (Madrid, 1990) had already published three books. With her fragile and savage look, the young poet, novelist, editor, journalist and translator has connected her precocity with a torrent of ideas and reflections through PlayGround magazine. She is considered one of Spain’s brightest young literature stars. On April 28 and 29, Miguel will participate in the following activities:
