NEWS
It's here, and it can be yours. Versal Three, fresh from the printers in Prague, is in Amsterdam and is waiting to be shipped out to you, wherever you are.
With a spine like Two and an attitude like One, Versal Three is a powerful and stunning new edition to the Netherlands' unique local, international literary annual.
The newly released Three includes the poetry and prose of Marilyn Hacker, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Russell Edson and lowland residents Anna Arov, Omar Perez, and Sylvia Hubers. It has been critically praised as an exceptionally beautiful literary magazine that takes you on a journey, whether you read it from cover to cover or step into it from time to time. So take a trip for only 8 euros.

It may be a ridiculous beginning to June here in the Netherlands, downright cold you might even say, but we've got some summer for you.
It's hot, it's unpredictable, it'll knock your books down; it's beautiful and sometimes just plain quirky - it's The Open Stanza. Bringing onto an Amsterdam stage the best of local and visiting poets and writers, live bands, and funky DJs.
Stretch your line breaks.
