The Dirty Goat 16

edited by Elzbieta Szoka and Joe W. Bratcher III
Review:
This is a collection of contemporary European literature from around the world. The selections featured are poetry, drama, visual art, prose, and essays in this 173 page tome. A majority of the works are in their native language with a translation on the opposite page. I really enjoyed the visual art from Mexico's Jaime Vargas and the essay from Germany's Brigitte Kronauer entitled "The TwoFaced Poet". Check out The Dirty Goat website if you are interested in reading a few excerpts from this issue or any back/ current publications. It is published biannually in January and September and always offers mixed genres of art.
