A Word From “Verbum” Паглядзець

Many a time and oft has it been said by different critics during various discussions that contemporary Belarusian literature is one of the most unknown Eastern European letters and, simultaneously, is one of the most interesting ones. It is possible to agree with the former at once. After all, we do know that the majority of Belarus’s neighbours have programmes and whole institutes aimed at disseminating their own culture and particularly – literature. The current Belarusian authorities do absolutely nothing in this direction; the state does not participate in the largest European book fairs at all. There are no special state-run projects to translate Belarusian prose and poetry into foreign languages. How then can international readers find out that our literature is in fact interesting and off the beaten line, and that we, besides the Nobel Prize laureate Svetlana Alexievich, also have tens of authors who are worth the most careful attention and a closer acquaintance?

Therefore, the independent literary and art magazine “Dziejasłoŭ” has decided to fill up this gap with the help of a digest of texts from its latest issues translated into English. Poetry, prose, essays, criticism, and new books – here one can find all the genres presented in the magazine. Many thanks to everyone who have been part of the implementation of this idea and in particular – to the translator Jim Dingley. We wish our dear readers a pleasant acquaintance with today’s Belarusian literature.

One more thing – there is a problem of transliterating Belarusian proper nouns (people’s names and surnames, toponyms, etc.) with Latin letters. The editorial board of “Verbum” has decided to use the so-called Łacinka, i.e. the Belarusian Latin alphabet, as the basic variant of trans-literation of such words. For the sake of convenience, in the section “Our Authors”, we also resort to a usual way of transcribing Belarusian literati’s names and surnames into English. For those who would like to under-stand more deeply this topic, we offer a table of Romanisation from the Belarusian Latin and Cyrillic scripts to the Latin (English) with reading and pronunciation variants.
