Global Poets & Writers Create Festivals and Publications (Satis Shroff)

National literature no longer means very much, the age of world literature is due.

(National literature will jetzt nicht viel sagen, die Epoche der Weltliterature ist an der Zeit).

Global writers and poets are connecting internationally via the internet. Why should only the literature mainstream in the USA, Australia and Britain take the lead?The world literature…

1. Das Ritual (Satis Shroff)

Eine betagte Dame sitzt auf dem Boden

und spielt ein Tamborin.

Die anderen sitzen im Kreis.

Plötzlich legt sie das Tamborin beiseite,

Steht auf und verläßt den Raum.

Sie lebt in einem Altersheim.

Sie öffnet…

THE DANCE OF THE BIRCH TREES (Satis Shroff)

The naked white birch trees

Stand close to each other,

A seagull with a fish in its beak Flutters by. All white and airborne, Twinkling on a blue…

An entire day was devoted to togetherness, in this old town when…
