The Transnational is a bilingual literary magazine which publishes authors from all around the world who offer a new approach to the political and social landscape of the 21st century. Worldwide. In English & German. Texts which are published in the Transnational can dissolve existing boundaries or suggest new ones. They can make us question our beliefs, champion social justice and human rights, war and psychological violence, giving rise to provocative or soothing thoughts. We believe that all great literature is revolutionary and necessary. Great writers are honest. They call upon us as readers to experience the intangible. The Transnational ist ein zweisprachiges Literaturmagazin, in dem Autoren aus aller Welt veroffentlicht werden, die sich auf kreative Art und Weise mit der politischen und sozialen Landschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts beschaftigen. Weltweit. Auf Englisch & Deutsch. Die Texte, die im Transnational veroffentlicht werden, sprengen im Idealfall althergebrachte Grenzen oder gestalten die imaginare Landschaft um sich herum neu. Sie konnen unser geistiges Fundament in Frage stellen, unsere Vorstellungen von einer sozialen Gerechtigkeit, von Menschenrechten, Kriegen, physischer oder psychologischer Gewalt - sie konnen beruhigen oder provozieren. Wir glauben, dass gute Literatur nicht nur notwendig, sondern revolutionar ist und gute Schriftsteller es schaffen, den Leser auf eine ehrliche Art und Weise etwas nicht unmittelbar Greifbares durch Worte erleben zu lassen."

Is it Poetry?

From Bukowski to Instapoetry Barfly Bukowski When Charles Bukowski entered the writing scene in 1939, he was considered an underground, low-brow writer who submitted to magazines and underground papers.  Most of his themes were guttural and sexist, wearing that gritty, greasy sailor masculinity on his sleeve. He drank excessively, swore and objectified in real life as well as on paper. He was criticized for lacking metaphors, but his anecdotes were interesting as well as his raw and offensive grit. Quite opposite from academic poets, postwar poets who entered academia, he stood apart, impassioned and bitter at the fringe of society, drank and smoked his life away.  Posthumously, he has gained some of the notoriety he longed for. He had produced many volumes of work, dabbling in many genres, he was championed by respectful editors in the end. Instapoet: Rupi Kaur In today’s world of social media phenomena, it’s no surprise that there may come someone with...

Deep Reading

What is deep reading, exactly?  Basically, it’s submersing yourself in a contiguous block of time reading a sizable book of text (not just mere images) from beginning to end.  Oh, you think: that’s easy! Or, you’ve done it plenty of times.  If you done it recently and regularly, then kudos to you! But for some, have you noticed that your attention wanders so fast when trying to sink into a good book that you had to put it down as soon as you started?  You’ve chosen a topic you want to read about, a topic you want to learn and educate yourself on, or a novel you heard about and wondered what the hype was about, but the book sits on your nightstand for weeks on end, if not months, only collecting dust.   I am glad you are reading my blog posts and would love you to come back, but I challenge you to make a goal to read a book a month and then two books a month, if you are not a reader, or an avid reader.  I know people read at different speeds...
