Poet Seifert remembered on 30th anniversary of death

The great Czech poet Jaroslav Seifert was remembered on Sunday, the 30th anniversary of his death. People gathered in the Nobel Prize winner’s honour at his tomb in the graveyard in Kralupy nad Vltavou, where his maternal grandparents came from and where he requested that he be buried. After the laying of a wreath at Seifert’s tomb, actor František Kreuzmann recited poems by the Prague-born writer. An evening of reminiscences then took place at the local museum.
