This exciting anthology maps a singular encounter between two
groups of poets, one based in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, the
other in the North East of England. Over a period of four years,
these eight poets, working together as writers, editors and
teachers, maintained a creative dialoge. The result is a diverse
body of work including original poetry and new translations.
Bulgarian poetry, liberated by the casting off of communism, now
looks coolly at an uncertain cultural and economic transition. The
Bulgarian poets -- Kristin Dimitroval Georgi Gospodinov, Nadya
Radulova and VBV -- are all leaders in a remarkable resurgence of
Balkan literature. Their British counterparts -- Andy Croft, Mark
Robinson, Linda France and W.N. Herbert -- are all highly-regarded
and widely-published poets in the UK whose original work in this
anthology is marked by formal ingenuity and conceptual daring and
is a fitting response to Bulgaria's new poetic voice.
