New European Poets

Where readers of New European Poets, edited by Wayne Miller and Kevin Prufer (Graywolf Press, 2008) may gather to chat.

Immanuel Mifsud in the house.

Get to know your Maltese poet:

A silly myspace-style interview, in which the poet reveals he cannot ride a bike;
A more serious (and somewhat quirkily translated) interview in which the poet discusses connections between Italy and Malta and gives a quick summation of the country's literary presence (and also refers to the Maltese as "not a thinking people");
An interview in which the interviewer asks very pertinent questions ("What is the role of translation nowadays?") and overwhelmingly naive ones ("What are your poems about?");
An interview in which the poet deems the future of Maltese poetry "bright" and discusses exposure outside of the island;
His blog (defunct since '05) which illustrates the poet's interests in international violence and Jefferson Airplane;
Some more poetry;
His site;
He.

Welcome

This blog exists for the benefit of a spring 2009 course at the University of Alabama's MFA Program in Creative Writing in which 20 intrepid literary armchair travelers will criss-cross Europe's poetic landscape over the course of the semester. Those folks will be required to post certain things at certain times, but they also invite you, stranger, to join the conversation.
