Poetry. Fiction. Translation. While the world's attention has been focused on the violence and political events in the Balkans, the creative works of those who struggle to maintain the rich literary culture in this under represented part of Europe has been ignored. This anthology recognizes some of those passionate voices from the faultline. "What is more appropriate for students being introduced to a long-neglected corner of Europe still dealing with the 'Eastern Question' than an introduction to writers and poets, some in their twenties, who offer them glimpses from the inside into age-old myths and responses to present-day reality?"--Dr. John kolsti.
