Wschodni Express: Literary Panels at Different Sounds 2021<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Wschodni Express is a series of meetings, panels and debates with writers, artists and intellectuals from Central and Eastern Europe and a publication series connected with East of Culture \u2013 Different Sounds, printed by Workshops of Culture in Lublin.<\/strong><\/p>\nOne of the major obstacles in developing intercultural cooperation and overcoming stereotypes about the cultures of Central and Eastern European countries is the language barrier. While it isn\u2019t a substantial threat to other fields of cultural practice (music, visual arts), it affects the reception of literature and broadly defined exchange of ideas. In this context, it is therefore vital to ensure a good flow of the current thought, writing and literature translated into national languages. Such a function is fulfilled by the series \u201cWschodni Express\u201d established at Workshops of Culture. For the last several years, it has been introducing to Poland the most current prose and poetry from the Eastern Partnership countries.<\/p>\n
The name of the series Wschodni Express (lit. Eastern Express) refers to the famous Paris-Constantinople train that in its heyday crossed nearly entire Europe and to such literary projects as Literature Express Europe 2000 and the Ukrainian periodical Potysah 76 \u2013 \u201cPoci\u0105g 76\u2033 (Train 76) dedicated to the Central-East European culture. As its name suggests, the series aims at introducing Polish readers to the latest literary texts from Poland\u2019s eastern neighbours, addressing the issues most relevant to the societies of Central and Eastern Europe. This mission stems from Lublin\u2019s location near the east border of the European Union. It is a logical continuation of the long-established activity of Lublin\u2019s literary and publishing communities in familiarising Polish readers with the culture of its eastern neighbours; Wydawnictwo Literackie, the quarterly \u201cAkcent\u201d, the quarterly \u201cKresy\u201d, \u201cKultura Enter\u201d magazine.<\/p>\n
Admission to all events is free.<\/p>\n

The ballads that cover centuries and include a compilation of contemporary and historical figures, from the executioners in the author\u2019s hometown of Polotsk, through to renaissance artists from Padua, Don Juan and other contemporary Ukrainian poets who share the common interest of the author himself \u2013 a poet and historian, traveller and archaeologist of his own life. The reportage-like verism combines with oneirism, lyricism with irony and sarcasm, while a sense of humour is often broken by tragedy. Reading the book takes us on a fantastic and fascinating journey around history and the contemporary world.<\/p>\n

The discussion<\/p>\n
The meeting is the prelude to the publication of the first Polish selection of Glatstein\u2019s Yiddish poetry, scheduled for this fall (the book will launch on 19 November, the anniversary of the writer\u2019s death).<\/p>\n
Jacob (Yankev) Glatstein (1896-1971) \u2013 a Jewish poet, writer, and literary critic who wrote in the Yiddish language. He was born in Lublin. In 1914, he immigrated to the USA, where he co-edited the first anthology of poetry addressing the Holocaust. His introspective modernist poetry, subsequently engaged in the complex act of recording the Holocaust and mourning the destruction of the world of Eastern European Jews, is very challenging to translate due to his experiments with language.<\/p>\n
The upcoming collection will include poems from various periods and volumes, such as “Gedenklider\u201d, “Sh\u1e6dralndi\u1e33e Yidn\u201d, “Dem tatns shotn\u201d, and \u201eA Yid fun Lublin\u201d (“A Jew from Lublin”), for which he received the Kovner Award in 1967. He was posthumously given The Jewish Heritage Award for his literary achievements.<\/p>\n
“Zaktowiczone\u201d is a book series aimed at introducing poets and writers from different cultural circles, those who are forgotten or, for various reasons, absent from the mainstream literary discourse and publications.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Wschodni Express is a series of meetings, panels and debates with writers, artists and intellectuals from Central and Eastern Europe and a publication series connected with East of Culture \u2013 Different Sounds, printed by Workshops of Culture in Lublin.<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the major obstacles in developing intercultural cooperation and overcoming stereotypes about the cultures of Central and Eastern European countries is the language barrier. While it isn\u2019t a substantial threat to other fields of cultural practice (music, visual arts), it affects the reception of literature and broadly defined exchange of ideas. In this context, it is therefore vital to ensure a good flow of the current thought, writing and literature translated into national languages. Such a function is fulfilled by the series \u201cWschodni Express\u201d established at Workshops of Culture. For the last several years, it has been introducing to Poland the most current prose and poetry from the Eastern Partnership countries.<\/p>\n The name of the series Wschodni Express (lit. Eastern Express) refers to the famous Paris-Constantinople train that in its heyday crossed nearly entire Europe and to such literary projects as Literature Express Europe 2000 and the Ukrainian periodical Potysah 76 \u2013 \u201cPoci\u0105g 76\u2033 (Train 76) dedicated to the Central-East European culture. As its name suggests, the series aims at introducing Polish readers to the latest literary texts from Poland\u2019s eastern neighbours, addressing the issues most relevant to the societies of Central and Eastern Europe. This mission stems from Lublin\u2019s location near the east border of the European Union. It is a logical continuation of the long-established activity of Lublin\u2019s literary and publishing communities in familiarising Polish readers with the culture of its eastern neighbours; Wydawnictwo Literackie, the quarterly \u201cAkcent\u201d, the quarterly \u201cKresy\u201d, \u201cKultura Enter\u201d magazine.<\/p>\n Admission to all events is free.<\/p>\n Thursday, 24 June<\/strong><\/p>\n 12.00-22.00 Festival Bookstore | A cafe and bookshop feat.

The protagonist, a writer and veteran of the war in Afghanistan, goes through a midlife crisis, which prompts him to go to a sanatorium where new acquaintances and experiences force him to reflect on himself.<\/p>\n 12.00-22.00\u00a0 12.00-22.00 Festival Bookstore | <\/strong>A cafe and bookshop feat.

But his situation is looking rather grim, if not entirely dark. The theme of light losing to darkness is also repeated.

The ballads that cover centuries and include a compilation of contemporary and historical figures, from the executioners in the author\u2019s hometown of Polotsk, through to renaissance artists from Padua, Don Juan and other contemporary Ukrainian poets who share the common interest of the author himself \u2013 a poet and historian, traveller and archaeologist of his own life.
