De Wit, Joost, Compiler—Stanley H. Barkan, Editor 50 Dutch & Flemish Novelists
Merrick, New York, USA Cross-Cultural Communications Foundation for Translations 1979 0893040320 / 9780893040321 First Paperback New Novel Excerpts 5 1/2x8 1/2 Cover design by Bebe Barkan
"When this project was conceived by Joost de Wit, director of the Foundation for the Promotion of the Translation of Dutch Literary Works, to prepare fifty four-page promotional folios on Dutch and Flemish novelists, it was with a view towards interesting American editors and publishers in publishing these novelists—heretofore or relatively unknown to them—in English. Once the folios were completed, however, it became apparent that the collected set could provide an introduction to novelists of the Netherlands for anyone seeking it. Thus, 50 DUTCH & FLEMISH NOVELISTS evolved. It is hoped that this collection will further enhance interest on the part of major and small presses and that those seeking an introduction to Dutch and Flemish novelists will find the rich and exciting one that I found while editing and preparing this manuscript for publication." —Stanley H.Barkan

Donnelly, Kathaleen, Compiler/Editor Paumanok: Poems and Pictures of Long Island
Merrick, New York, USA Cross-Cultural Communications 2009 089304119X / 978-0-89304-119-9 First Hard Cover New Photography & Poetry 9x10 Book Design by Tchouki
"Paumanok is a beautiful book, whether judged by its visual appearance or its words—the superb quality of the images, the sound of the poems. This anthology, which celebrates the cycle of the seasons, documents an aspect of Long Island far removed from the intensity of expressways, frenetic pace of contemporary life. Paumanok! The name evokes a magic. We must each find our own Paumanok, discover our secret place. Entering the pages of this book, we are transported there." —Richard Bronson, author of SEARCH FOR OZ "What is unusual about ths charming anthology is how well the poems and poets—some well-known, others not—all fit together, as if the Long Island they celebrate so beautifully has a sensibility they all share, even though some of the poets write about everyday life and some about sea and sky. The more than 300 photographs that accompany the poems make a perfect embellishment. The book demonstraes how Long Island is, and has been, a nest of singing birds." —Harvey Shapiro, author of THE SIGHTS ALONG THE HARBOR: NEW AND COLLECTED POEMS

Obradovic, Biljana D., Editor and Translator FIVES / PETICE: Bilingual Anthology—Fifty Poems by Serbian and American Poets
Belgrade and New York Contact Line and Cross-Cultural Communications 2002 0-89304-514-5 First Paperback New Poetry 5 1/2x7 7/8 Book desing by Stanoje Radulovic
In this unique book, poet, editor, and translator, Biljana D. Obradovic, has selected five contemporary poets from Serbia and five from the United States to intoduce their work outside their countries in a cross-cultural exchange. Fluent in both languages, Obradovic has produced graceful translations in both directions yet includes the originals for a meaningful selection of each poet's work for readers in either language. The result is a collection of poems remarkably diverse, yet with surprising parallels. As she notes in the preface, "In the current international political climate, the publication of this anthology, and works like it, is essential for an increase in tolerance between two nations such as Yugoslavia and the United States . . . [but] my intention is not to minimize differences, not to erase the tensions that have kept these two countries apart, but to exhibit the impressive talent of individual poets from both coutnries, for it is finally only through our mutual recognition of what each can offer and teach us that there is any real hope for our mutual survival and cultural prosperity."
