Trafika Europe 3 - Latvian Sojourn

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.
