Program Overview

Mission/Objectives:
The publishing department of Public library “Stefan Prvovencani,” called Povelja, was founded in 1985. The first issue of the homonymous literary magazine was published in 1971. Since the middle of the nineties of the 20th century, our publishing activities have been strongly developed and branched into several libraries, mostly for contemporary Serbian poetry and theory of poetry. Although not too voluminous (between 15 and 20 titles a year), literary production of Povelja for the last ten years has succeeded to become important and unavoidable publisher that represents healthy and stimulant cultural aspect in our country. This is especially valid for our poetry books, since they got all important Serbian poetry awards. In last ten years we started to publish foreign authors, mainly poets. Till now, we have published poetry books of Philippe Jaccottet, Czeslav Milosz, Tomas Transtremer, Giorgio Orelli, Fabio Pusterla, Rolf Jacobsen, Anne Carson, Charles Simić and others.
