Metropoetica

What does writing poetry have in common with walking in the city? In translating poetry, what lost paths, dark alleys and chance connections are encountered? How do these change the maps by which cities are known and by which new poetries may be discovered? Metropoetica is a collaboration of women writing and walking in different cities across Europe in response to these questions. The contributing poets and translators include Ingmara Balode (Riga, Latvia), Julia Fiedorczuk(Warsaw, Poland), Sanna Karlstrom (Helsinki, Finland), Ana Pepelnik (Ljubljana, Slovenia), Zoe Skoulding(Bangor, Wales), Sigurbjorg Thrastardottir (Reykjavik, Iceland), and Elzbieta Wojcik-Leese (Krakow, Poland).
