Poetry from the Balkans (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781970020595)

Foreword There is no the best Poetry Anthology ever, nor it will ever be done. For I happen to realize that Poetry is beyond collective liking and subjective purpose for unifying all which is impossible and what we may consider outstanding it is just a mere ephemeral enthusiasm and/ or temporary thrill. The truth is that the Poets represented in this Anthology are more than that. More than people who represent a written word of respective Countries. They are their best ambassadors of Culture, Art, Humanity and Civilization which goes Global. In about 300 pages the reader is invited to immerse in a splendor of a written word by a living Masters of contemporary Balkan Poetry. This will indeed trigger attention, obey the thirst for knowing other nations and their artistic legacy, build bridges of understanding of the other and much more.The attention has been paid to create balance of different generation so we have young middle age and crafted masters of modern Balkan poetry as well as gender balance so we have a palette of genuine Poets and Poetesses to be offering in English their art for wider audience. I am privileged to hardly work on connecting people, gathering their material, mixing with their souls from whom I have learned many new things and I hope the reader will have too, the pleasure of getting to know more about Modern Poetry in this part of Europe.It was my original aim to bring forth these voices and diffuse them into wider readership and the Miracle here lays to reflect and respond to the pulsating impulse of creativity which is indeed a driving force of every Artist shown here in its best element.I am extremely grateful to the Publishers who released all ties to my hands, so I was free to invite Poets aiming to select among the best.Grateful too to all Poets participating and trusting in my efforts to accomplish this task.fahredin b. shehu Kosovo
