Koprivshtitsa Poetry Conference Special Feature
Ninth Letter happily presents a collection of poetry showcasing a varied group of young writers, four of them Bulgarian, and the other four writers who create in English. In the spirit of the conference, we have structured the order of presentation by alternating Bulgarian poets with anglophone poets. As you read through this special feature, you may notice that the poets of Bulgaria lean more into the spoken voice, their poems often sharp, humorous, sardonic, while their English-writing counterparts perhaps tend more to the contemplative. Oh, how I wish we could also offer these poets’ conversations as they presented their work!
