La Poesia: The Literary Bar of San Telmo

Located in a small turn of the 19th century building, La Poesia San Telmo is known as a bona fide literary venue or a “cafe de arte” where artistic souls have met for decades to toast the writers of Buenos Aires. The cafe was founded in 1982 by a journalist and poet, Ruben Derlia, and La Poesía quickly became “la esquina de encuentro” where the artists and thinkers of San Telmo would regularly meet to discuss and critique the various topics of the week.
