The ePublisher team works to raise poetry to a more visible and influential position in the European culture. Guided by this aim, every month, we select one poet from each partner country to feature as our Poet of the Month. In this section we try to get behind the scenes of the poetry to introduce our international audience to the well known poets from Lithuania, Poland, Portugal and Finland, and to discuss inspirations and influences with the authors.
