The Center for Openness and Dialogue (COD) organized the literary event “The Magic of Poetic Words” in the city of Vlora, featuring acclaimed local poet Lela Qejvani.

The gathering brought together members of the “Petro Marko” Writers’ Club, intellectuals, and talented young poets. Participants discussed the creative and aesthetic values of Qejvani’s work and recited selected verses from her poetry collections.

Renowned as a poet of nature and landscapes, Lela Qejvani’s work is celebrated for its rich imagery and profound exploration of social and patriotic themes. Her poetic collections, including “Mall përtej detit” (Longing Beyond the Sea), “Epokë lakuriqe” (Naked Era), and “Ajo natë” (That Night), as well as her nonfiction book “Në vorbullat e jetës” (In Life’s Whirlpools), highlight her unique perspective and enduring relevance.

In a social media post, COD praised Qejvani for her ability to go beyond picturesque descriptions, offering insightful reflections on the world around her.
