I read the translated edition of Julijana Velichkovska's collection of prose poems, Reißverschluss, from Struga Poetry Evenings recently. I particularly enjoyed the section 'unfairy tales', feminist rewritings of stories like the little mermaid & Cinderella. Great to hear her read at the event too!

Prianesi is a text about chronic illness - "This was an insight that I too gained in illness, and it is part of what I tried to write about in Piranesi: that there is a whole world endlessly going on, endlessly being beautiful, regardless of whether anyone is there to see it or not."

I read two translated books of poetry on the journey back from the Struga Poetry Evenings Festival. Gaia Giovagnoli's witchy Babajaga poems have a nicely realised creepy atmosphere. Alen Bešić's poems feature precise character sketches of artistically disaffected men.

My subscriber copy of The Poetry Review from the @poetrysociety.org.uk has arrived. Particularly looking forward to reading the conversation between Major Jackson and Nick Makoha, two poets whose work I admire. I was fortunate to hear Major Jackson read at Newcastle Uni a few years ago.

A reading from New Famous Phrases outside the historic St. Mary Peribleptos church in Ohrid. I've never needed sunglasses for a poetry reading before! I've never even needed sunglasses in Newcastle before!

Fantastic to share a stage with the President of Macedonia, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, this week for a televised reading from New Famous Phrases. Great to see poetry being given such a high profile platform and national attention in Macedonia.

The poet and the translator. By all accounts from all the Macedonians I spoke to, Gorjan Kostovski has done a tremendous job with his translation! I found the translation process really rewarding, revisiting the meaning, allusions, word choice, & inspirations for the poems.

Reading and discussing New Famous Phrases at Europe House in Struga with Gorjan Kostovski who translated the book into Macedonian.
