We are pleased to launch an e-anthology presenting the participants from the first year of Ulysses' Shelter's third cycle 2022-2025. Ulysses Shelter is a project coordinated by Sandorf (Croatia) in partnership with organisations in the Czech Republic, Greece, Malta, Serbia, Slovenia, Mallorca (Spain) and Wales (UK).

This selection contains a mix of existing work and texts written during or after the residency, giving a sense of the variety of topics and concerns shared by emerging authors across Europe. What is remarkable about this and the forthcoming collections is the number of writers who are capable of translating their own work into the contemporary European lingua franca which opens the doors to a wider readership and possible translations into other languages, without diminishing the importance of Europe’s multilingualism, and makes it possible for us to have conversations across the vast and varied European cultural space.

The fifteen writers included in the anthology are Ruqayya Izzidien, Marek Torčík, Esyllt Angharad Lewis, Ivana Maksić, Tonia Tzirita Zacharatou, Jan Škrob, Sergej Harlamov, Tibor Hrs Pandur, Ognjen Aksentijević, Jake Buttigieg, Marios Chatziprokopiou, Matthew Schembri, Sven Popović, Marina Gudelj, and Ajda Bračič.

The anthology is available for download in the righthand corner next to the title.
