Versopolis

Priorities

- Transnational mobility

Project description

Versopolis was designed as a poetry platform that creates opportunities for emerging European poets by financially and organizationally supporting translations of their poetry into English and other European languages and publishing them in printed booklets, e-books and on the www.versopolis.com website along with full profile descriptions. Versopolis also supports the poets’ mobility by organizing a number of guest appearances at different European literary festivals, which creates countless opportunities for networking with foreign publishers, literary agents, the press and other actors in the field of literature. This helps the excellent poets to breakthrough to the European and global poetry scene.
