World Literature Today: Zagajewski materials in May issue

[Emily Johnson]

SEELANGS recipients may be interested in looking at the most recent (May
2005) issue of the journal World Literature Today. It contains a special
section on the Polish poet and essayist Adam Zagajewski, laureate of the
2004 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. Contents include
Zagajewski's acceptance speech from the Neustadt award ceremony, previously
unpublished translations of his recent poetry by Clare Cavanagh, and
insightful discussions of his work by Clare Cavanagh, Magdalena Kay, Gary
Hawkins, and Bogdana Carpenter. Also in the issue: reviews of new books from
Poland, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine, plus a special section of WLT Kids
devoted to Kazakhstan. To browse through the May issue, visit the WLT
website at www.ou.edu/worldlit, where you'll also find a list of bookstores
throughout the U.S. that carry WLT.

World Literature Today regularly publishes articles, interviews, essays, and
reviews focusing on contemporary Slavic and East European literature.  Plans
for the fall 2005 issue include pieces on Russian, Croatian, and Ukrainian
literature as well as selections of Czech and Hungarian poetry.
