INTERVIEWS

Flash Frontier

IN TRANSLATION

My poems are now translated into Bosnian, Turkish, and German. 

My pastel artwork, ‘Unknown” graces the cover of a new anthology edited by Michelle Elvy and Vaughan Rapatahana, Te Moana o Red/Ocean of Languages. One poem, "The Sadness of Mountains," is also in the collection, translated into German. To be released in February 2025.

My poem If you poison us do we not die? (poem for two voices) was selected for Close Encounters of the Poetic Kind.

Mehtap Özer-Isović and Dr Vesna Suljić edit their latest translation project—a collection of poetry written by Australian and New Zealand poets, titled Close Encounters of the Poetic Kind, published by the International University of Sarajevo (IUS). The book is a three language publication (in Bosnian, Turkish and English) and contains not only poems but also comments by the poets themselves, either about their creative writing process, inspiration, motivation or about some environmental, social or cultural particularities of Australia and New Zealand.
