Círculo Amistad Numancia Hosts Cultural Evening Featuring Poetry and Literature

The Círculo Amistad Numancia in Soria will host two distinct cultural events on Tuesday, April 16, focusing on contemporary poetry and international literature. The evening begins at 8:00 p.m. with a presentation of Javier Bolaños’s latest poetry collection, followed by a session of the institution’s established book club at 8:15 p.m.

Presentation of “Sin cajón donde guardar”

Poet and moderator of the Ágora de la Poesía, Javier Bolaños, will present his new collection titled Sin cajón donde guardar. The event takes place in the Salón Gerardo Diego. Bolaños, a prominent figure in the local literary scene, will be joined by Pablo Unamuno to discuss the themes and creative process behind the work. According to the Círculo Amistad Numancia official agenda, this presentation serves as a platform for regional authors to engage directly with the public.

Book Club Discusses “The Girl with the Louding Voice”

Immediately following the poetry presentation, the Círculo Amistad Numancia’s book club will meet at 8:15 p.m. to analyze The Girl with the Louding Voice (Spanish edition: La ladrona de palabras) by Nigerian author Abi Daré. The novel, which follows a young girl’s quest for education and independence in rural Nigeria, has been widely recognized for its exploration of resilience and the importance of female agency. The discussion is open to all members and interested members of the public, provided the room’s capacity is not exceeded.

Logistics and Attendance

Both events are free to the public, though attendance is subject to the capacity limits of the respective rooms within the Círculo Amistad Numancia building. The institution, a historic cultural hub in Soria, frequently organizes these back-to-back sessions to encourage continuous engagement with the arts. Because these gatherings are held in the Salón Gerardo Diego and the club’s designated meeting space, attendees are encouraged to arrive early to ensure seating.
