Dear list members, I would like to draw your attention to Semicerchio (Comparative Poetry Journal), that is regularly published in Florence. A large section of the magazine is dedicated to contemporary Italian poetry, but the other sections (relying on a large number of contributors) cover Classical, Medieval, Spanish, Portoguese, French, English, German, American, African, Arab and Chinese literature. I am a member of the managing editorial board, and it is our present intention to broaden the diffusion and the availability of the magazine on a larger scale. The next number (XVIII) will be published in a few weeks. One month ago President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro awarded us with a special prize for the work we have been doing so far. For those of you who might be interested in having an idea of what is Semicerchio like can look at http://www.dada.it/semicerchio. Any submission and subscription requests must be addressed directly to the director, Francesco Stella, at [log in to unmask] Faithfully Yours Massimiliano Chiamenti %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
