In 1819, the great German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published his West-Eastern Divan, a celebration through poetry of friendship between ‘East’ and ‘West’. 200 years later, the world has radically moved on, but the need for a renewed initiative for dialogue and friendship between cultures has never been greater. With this in mind, Gingko has published a new, annotated translation of the original West-Eastern Divan, but also A New Divan - a new, multilingual poetry anthology for our times.
