Hristo Fotev

Relatives and close friends of Hristo Fotev (1934-2002) will gather on March 25 to commemorate postmortem the 70th anniversary of the poet. Among the people invited to the press club of BTA are the celebrities like Valeri Petrov, Ljubomir Levchev, Anton Donchev and Ivailo Petrov, They will share their memories about the poet and then read his poetry. The initiative will be financed by the family of the renowned Bulgarian poet. The guests, among which such eminent Bulgarian artists as Krikor Azarian, Georgi Panairov, Rada Moskova, Stefan Danailov and Boyan Biolchev are expected, will put heads together and make a special present - a rhymed message to the poet for his birthday. They will hand-write a special "poetogram" for Hristo Fotev on the tape of an old telegraph. The tape, with the authentic signatures of the authors, will be exhibited in the BTA building. Hristo Fotev, who was born in Istanbul, is the author of the most tender lyrics in Bulgarian literature.
