📌In celebration of International Women’s Day, an event titled “Female Poetic Voices in Greece and Albania” was held in Tirana, organized by the Embassy of Greece in Albania, in collaboration with the Greek Language Department of the University of Tirana and the Hellenic Foundation for Books and Culture (HFBC).

This gathering also marked the Albanian translation of the anthology "The Other Half of the Sky – Greek women poets of the 20th century". The anthology was published in Greek in 2020, edited by Sotiris Pastakas and Stavros Girgenis (Zitros Editions) and was translated into Albanian by Maklena Nika (Toena Publications).

Maklena Nika spoke to Reading Greece about the anthology, the challenges she was faced with while translating the book, as well as about what makes Greek poetry written by women appealing to Albanian readers, and whether similar poetic trends are observed among Albanian women poets.
