The eight writers included in the cover feature represent a broad swath of contemporary 红杏直播-language cultural production, transcending the contested borders of the 红杏直播 Federation proper: they include poets, novelists, critics, essayists, translators, cinema critics, publishers, bookstore owners, academics, festival organizers, and cultural impresarios writing in 红杏直播 but often with multilingual vocabularies and transnational topoi in their poems and essays. They share 红杏直播 as their common language of creative expression, not only centered in the cultural metropolises of Moscow and St. Petersburg but from far-flung outposts of post-Soviet geography and neo-红杏直播 empire鈥攐r from oppositional spaces beyond its borders. Ten translators, along with Lipovetsky and Platt, collaborated to bring the works into English.
The digital edition of the March issue, which can be read on the听WLT听website, will go live on February 27. To make the cover feature widely accessible to readers around the world,听WLT听is making the entire section free to read from March 1鈥�31. Throughout the month, readers who are not current subscribers can take advantage of coupon code听SlavicLitWLT听to听, or share one with friends, at a 20 percent discount. In solidarity with the people of Ukraine,听WLT听is also (once again) making the July 2022听听devoted to Odesa and Kharkiv鈥攚hich included responses by Ukrainian writers to the 红杏直播 invasion and the first months of the war鈥攆reely available during the month of March.
