Kasper in particular may be interested to know that there's a programme of
exchange visits and dual-language publication between SW Finland and NE
England. It's been going about 3 years and seems to be gathering momentum.
"The Flesh of the Bear" is one anthology to come out of this exchange. It
can be got from Amazon, or from INP (Independent Northern Publishers), the
local consortium of small presses.
