Transcript, the European internet review of books and writing, recently published a special issue dedicated to contemporary Slovenian writers, translated into English. The section Seven Urban Tongues has poetry by: Primoz Cucnik, Taja Kramberger, Brane Mozetic, Peter Semolic, Tone Skrjanec, Natasa Velikonja and Maja Vidmar. (I’ve followed their lead and left out any diacritics.)

There’s also some fiction: A Thin Red Line by Andrej Blatnik, Berlin-Metelkova by Suzana Tratnik, Under the Surface by Mojca Kumerdej (currently unreadable) and The Jump Off the Liburnia by local literary heavyweight Drago Jancar.

It’s a bit difficult to find Slovenian writers translated into English, so this collection is something of a novelty.
