> >New countries
> >As of today, international poetry website Poetry International Web
> >(<http://www.poetryinternational.org>www.poetryinternational.org)
> >will expand with two new country domains, one for Italy and one for
> >South Africa. Editor in chief of the Italian site is Roberto Baronti
> >Marchiň, of the University of Cassino. The site opens with poems by
> >Franco Buffoni.
> >The South African site is coordinated by Gus Ferguson, publisher
> >(Snailpress) and chief editor of the poetry magazine Carapace. The
> >South African editorial staff works on a rotation basis and is
> >assisted by a group of advisers representing the great diversity of
> >South African poetry. South Africa starts off with five different
> >poets, ranging from the young, promising Mxolisi Nyezwa to
> >widely-known Afrikaans poet Antjie Krog.
> >
> >In March, a Ukrainian domain will be added to the site, edited by
> >Andriy Bondar, literary editor of Mirror Weekly and editor in chief
> >of Eva magazine. He is aided by an advisory group which includes the
> >poet Natalka Bilotserkivets and the President of the Ukrainian
> >writers' association, Taras Feduk. The Ukrainian domain is supported
> >financially by the embassy of the Netherlands in Kiev.

> >New poets
> >As more countries are joining Poetry International Web, more poets
> >are being featured in the country domains already present on the
> >site. The French domain has just chosen the "obscure" poet Jude
> >Stéfan to be its "Poet of the Quarter". Later this month, Zimbabwe
> >will highlight the poet Julius Chingono and China will introduce us
> >to the poetry of Lü De'an. In March the Slovenian domain will offer
> >a taste of the work of Edvard Kocbek.
