As you can see, there are still a lot of gaps in this list! Many countries and languages remain unexplored. As always, any recommendations are most welcome, especially since a full version of this list will eventually be published more conveniently. In the meantime, however... happy reading!
For Moldova, I've heard that the very young and talented Lucia Brainstorm (yes, probably a pen name) will be translated into English, but I haven't been able to find any further information about publisher or publishing date. Two other names I've heard mentioned are Stela Popa and Nina Josu, both also known for their journalistic activities and political activism. Not translated yet, I don't think. I used to know a very talented poet Argentina Gribincea from Moldova but she seems to have fallen rather silent on her Twitter account and blog @GriArg
ReplyDeleteI'm still looking for a lot of these countries. I mean, I only updated Oman just a few days before publishing this post! There's new stuff coming out all the time and so much that I'm not aware of as well. Thanks for the recs, I'll definitely keep an eye out!
