Imants Ziedonis, with a choral setting of one of his poems
by Ansis Sauka, and animation by our own Mark Boston.
This issue is rounded out by other writing from across
Europe. There’s Saami poetry, and great Bulgarian fiction
from Georgi Tenev. Croatian poet Dorta Jagić gives us six
portraits of Victorian adventuresses, and we close with a
piece from the Greek avant-garde.
One more thing, folks: we’re getting ready to launch
Trafika Europe Radio
– Europe’s literary radio station –
and we need your help! This is a whole new dimension for
literary community in Europe – an online streaming station
with podcasts from partner-producers, bringing you news,
literary performances, and discussion in English from
across the continent. Like the journal you’re reading now,
we offer this all free online, in a spirit of service to keeping
our cultures open, attracting and growing together. Isn’t
this worth your support? Please visit our campaign:
There you’ll find info about this Radio project, and some
great rewards. Please support this if you can, and please use
the share tools there to spread the word. Together we can
make European literary radio a reality, and launch this new
platform for literature from Council of Europe. For those
already helping us: thank you so much - it means a great
deal! Inquiries toward participation are also welcome.
