Did we mention that the second volume in our Amber Poets series is available for pre-order now?

It includes 'The Water-goblin'. So scary that 'you simply pause from time to time to make peace with your goose-bumps’, according to

1st Letter to the Corinthians

From We Were Here
By Artur Dron'

💛💙

...love could have surrendered, abandoned
everything,
but it walks on.
And sometimes love gets shot in the legs,
or shell fragments get stuck in them,
or its legs get blown off.
Then love is carried by its friends.

💛💙

Today's news reminded us of 'Hear My Voice' by David Vaughan, published in 2019.

A young translator/ interpreter witnesses all sides of the Sudetan Crisis in 1938. Based on real events with some fine detail (Havel as a toddler!) but no happy ending ☹️

Happy birthday to Adam Bodor, 89 tomorrow!

‘The Birds of Verhovina’ was published in English by Jantar in 2022.

Peter Sherwood provided the sumptuous translation.
János Szegő wrote the amazing introduction.

It feels like it was just yesterday! 🧡🧡🧡
