Poetry International Web - Editorial June 2006
Description
Welcome to Poetry International Web, a new, worldwide forum for poetry on the internet! PIW will bring you news, reviews, essays, interviews and discussion, but, first and foremost, hundreds of poems by acclaimed modern poets from all around the world, both in the original language and in English translation.
In keeping with the spirit of the web, it is a truly international collaboration of, at present twenty editors in twenty different countries – you will find them in the pop-up menu to the left. Each of these countries maintains its own national domain within PIW, with its chosen “Poet of the Quarter”, news and other articles.
PIW differs from other poetry sites on the internet in its strong emphasis on poetry in translation as a way of stimulating the exchange of knowledge of poetry worldwide. Furthermore, visitors are encouraged to stroll, loiter, skip and meander more freely and intuitively from one page to the next, from one country to another - with a healthy disregard of borders and frames - than is possible on sites of a more conventional design, and, hopefully, encounter something interesting and unexpected along the way.
