"The Great Teen Fruit War, A 1960 Novel" involves conflict between the Blues (sons of blueberry farmers) and the Reds (sons of peach growers) in a southern New Jersey agricultural community.
I am a part of small European initiative, which aims at encouragement of cultural diversity by making it accessible for a broader range of people through an international language tool, namely English language. It is well-known that English became the international language of the world and in short, our group stands for this tendency.
Background
Information
In a fast-paced environment, there are more and more people who speak more then one foreign languages and try to express themselves artistically in written not only in their mother tongue but also in English. This is mostly noticeable in music – Czech and Polish artists record their songs in English, but there are also many cases when Slovenian and Greek poets write their work in English as well. Keeping this in mind, Eminor.eu decided to open the doors for a unique chance amongst the European authors for publishing and promotion of their work in English. We organise competitions, publish news of interest from the poetry world, have an open reading period and surely, make books. You may visit us on www.eminor.eu
Accomplishments
The First European English Poetry Book competition was launched on 1-st of January 2010. 75 entries have been received from people who write in English without having it as a mother tongue. The selection of winning entries written by young talented poets based in the geographic borders of Europe was presented in a fine anthology to illustrate the contemporary European poetry scene - "Poetry Pieces Of Europe", vol. 1
