If I Lived Near NYC I'd be at The Bridge Tonight

For those of you near NYC you're fortunate to have the opportunity to attend the discussion/reading series on translation, The Bridge.

Tonight's event at McNally-Jackson Books should be particularly interesting: a discussion of post-war Greek poetry with translators Karen Emmerich and Edmund Keeley.

Greek Poetry Now!

Greek Poetry Now! is a new web site presenting work by over a dozen Greek poets, including Dimitris Leontzakos (who appeared in Absinthe 11):

This site does not favor any particular tendency or movement, but aspires to present some of the most interesting work written in Greek language today, trying to include different and often contradictory points of view.

The poets presented in this site have been born after the year 1965 and most of them have their work published after the year 2000.
