ALMANACCO MURMUR

Murmur is a contemporary poetry collective founded in Milan in the winter of 2022, born from the idea of reclaiming poetic art through encounter. Murmur gathers the words, sonic explorations, and visual research of artists, thinkers, and anyone who holds poetry close to heart. It is an invitation to begin again with the shared reading of texts, leading toward dialogue, exchange, and a deep engagement with language. Murmur is sound, reading, wind. Murmur is the words you’ve forgotten.

The collective was founded by Maria Luce Cacciaguerra and Greta Sugar, and is curated and carried forward by Maria Luce Cacciaguerra and Allison Grimaldi Donahue.

Almanacco Murmur is a book that gathers the poems and experiences of 56 poets who took part in the readings and workshops during Murmur’s first two years of activity.
