120 poems from all over the world were translated to Maltese thanks to the Mediterranean Literature Festival, a collection that became a publication called ‘Xtaqt li kont merkurju’. In this episode we caught up with the editor of the publication who explained the process that him and his team went through to collect all the poems and also explains the platform that this festival provides for Maltese and International writers to present their works to audience.
