About this plan
Umbral is a poetry lab held at the Gabriel García Márquez Public Library, Tunal branch, in the Tunjuelito district. It gives you a chance to explore poetic language through reading, conversation, and writing. You don't need any prior experience. Attendees take part in readings, writing exercises, and talks with others in a space built for playing with words.
The core idea is poetry as a place for exploration, where your imagination and personal stories turn into text. Each session offers a different route to play with rhythm, imagery, and your own voice. The event is free and open to the public. It's a great fit for anyone who wants to connect with literature in Bogota in a hands-on, collective way.
