Earlier, in 2002–2004, his poetry evenings took place in Tbilisi — at the “Theatrical Basement” on Rustaveli Avenue, in the Literary Café, and in the “Old House” Theatre.

This time, the meeting with the poet was held at Tbilisi State University, in the David Sarajishvili Hall. Students and professors of the university asked questions about his life and creative work, and the poet recited his poems.

,,My poems come from within — from the soul, thoughts, moods, communication with people, solitude, and silence. That is why these poems are magical,”

says Irakli Nadaraia

The poetry evening concluded with the poem “Dream”.

,,We fall asleep and see a dream,” said Irakli Nadaraia.
