Since March 2nd 2015 at Náměstí Míru sticks like the ventilation pipes from the metro the poeziomachine to emanate on reguest voices of several Czech poets. The premiere of the machine was launched by the mayor of the Prague 2 and by Daniel Herman the Minister of Culture, who selected the poem of Egon Bondy. Entrepreneur - coffeehouse keeper Ondřej Kobza realized the poetic idea originally elaborated by Ladislav Čumba from radio skutečnost. The process of disenchantment of poetry is thus brought down ad absurdum. But it works, and usually there are people listening and staring into the pipe hole.
