Dear Versopolis Friends,
in our last newsletter we introduced you to the Versopolis format Author of the Week, the series of essays commissioned by the platform and featuring a diverse range of established and up-and-coming authors.
This time read the contributions coming from the Czech Republic, more specifically from Marie Iljašenko and Jan Škrob.
Many more texts can of course be found online at www.versopolis.com.
The poets' one-week-residency at the occasion of Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture goes in its final rounds. Read below who will visit the Serbian city next.
best regards,
your VERSOPOLIS team

Their identities intermingled, transformed, and from today’s perspective there was quite a pleasant chaos.
