The journal is displayed as a flip-book.
The first issue, "Northern Idyll", focuses on
work from Europe's northern islands, with new poetry, stories and novel
excerpts translated from Gaelic and Shetland Scots, Faroese, Icelandic and
Norwegian, as well as new works from German, Russian, French, Slovenian and
Occitan.
One highlight, from the tiny culture of the Faroe
Islands, is a chapter translated from Jóanes Nielson's The Brahmadells – A North Atlantic Chronicle. This is the first
work from the Faroe Islands ever to receive a major international publishing
contract, so it is the most important news of Faroese literature in our times.
This work is receiving its English-language premiere in the pages of Trafika Europe.
This issue also features photos from across Europe
by US-based photographer Mark Chester.
It is well worth a look. A long look.
