The publishers Jan Wagner and Federico Italiano, together with the authors Benjamin Clark and Deryn Rees-Jones, invite you on a journey through the young poetry of Europe. 

Poetry is alive – but the enormous diversity of poets from all languages and countries from Albania to Cyprus is almost unknown. So it is about time for a new, exciting collection: after the legendary predecessors »Museum of Modern Poetry« by Hans Magnus Enzensberger (1960) and »Atlas of New Poetry« by Joachim Sartorius (1995), Jan Wagner and Federico Italiano embark on a fascinating journey. The »Grand Tour« through the young lyricism of Europe provides poetic provisions for years to come: the unknown, the surprising and the unheard – in original and translation. A voyage of discovery for attentive minds.
