The blank page is a wide open gate. I loved coordinating the Vermont College of Fine Arts writing residency in Slovenia this month. The Karst region and this church at Hrastovlje, among other sites, have captivated my poem-making since.
The Slovenian writers we met shared beautiful stories and poems. Here’s a link to some of the glories—poems by Alenka Jovanovski.

Thanks for sharing these poems. “Mother’s Tongue” is especially affecting.
Glad you liked these! I hope more of her work is translated soon.
