| | Dear friends,
Welcome to the newsletter of Poetry International Archives, a fully redesigned incarnation of the Poetry International Web. We say ‘Archives’ in plural, for they include our diverse collection of poets, poems and translations, which Poetry International Web amassed via its global network of editors beginning in 2002. That project has now merged with the vast archive of fifty editions of the annual Rotterdam Poetry International Festival, including highlights from the most recent years available for streaming on the Archives site.
The renewed newsletter will bring you monthly updates on Archives publications of poets and poems from all over the world — each in their original languages and English translations — and highlights from and news about world poetry, with a special focus on Dutch poetry. We wish you many happy discoveries! | |
