The Ulysses’ Shelter IV: Anthology consists of works by artists who participated in the Ulysses’ Shelter program in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Ulysses’ Shelter is an international literary residency program for emerging poets, writers, and translators that has successfully finished its third cycle. The network of literary residencies has now been extended to eight European countries: Czechia (Culture Reset), Croatia (Sandorf), Greece (Thraka), Malta (Inizjamed), Serbia (Krokodil), Slovenia (Slovene Writers’ Association), Spain (Mallorca Film Commission), and Wales in the United Kingdom (Literature Across Frontiers), and collaborates with many institutions and organizations in each participating country.

The project has been in place for the last 6 years. Throughout its duration, 20 writers have stayed in Larissa for a 2-week period, and 14 Greek writers have stayed in Ljubljana, Belgrade, and on the island of Mljet. The authors included in this book participated in the program’s latest cycle. They are: Aitana Ahrens, Ioanna Lioutsia, Ondřej Lipár, Ivana Maksić, Efstathia P. (tria epsilon), Natassa Sideri, Danae Sioziou, Nežka Struc, Tonia Tzirita-Zacharatou, Josip Čekolj, Sergej Harlamov, and Marios Chatziprokopiou.

The Ulysses’ Shelter project is co-funded by the European Union under the Creative Europe Program 2021-2027.
