After 40 days since the passing of the great Russian poet Konstantin Alexandrovich Kedrov, poet Margarita Al, Chairperson of the World Organization of Writers (WOW), announced that in memory of the founders of DOOS, Konstantin Kedrov and E.I. Katsyub, the 5th and 6th volumes of the “Software Anthology” collected during this 40-day period have been presented. Coinciding with this event, issue number 86 of Poets Magazine—featuring new voices and celebrating creators from around the world—is about to be released.
All anthologies and poetry magazines can now be viewed on the World Magazine Hall, the digital platform managed by the World Organization of Writers (WOW), available on their official website: wow-lifft.com/vzhz.html.
The magazine “Poets” has now become the WOW magazine, with Margarita Al serving as editor-in-chief. The poet Ashraf Aboul-Yazid is also a member of the magazine’s editorial board. From now on, all cutting-edge global texts (poetry, prose, scripts, paintings, discoveries) will be published in this magazine, which is now 35 years old. It will be issued four times a year.
“With this launch, the organization reaffirms its commitment to fostering cultural and creative communication among writers and poets, offering an open window into the world of contemporary literature.”
On the website’s page, Margarita Al added her call:
“Friends!
Today, this call sounds like a true manifesto of peace. I address it to all writers and readers around the world:
‘Friends’! Дустар! Friends! Amistad! Freunde! Amis! दोस्तों! 朋友! 친구! Przyjaciel! Barátok! Dostlar! Дӯстони! …
It is amazing how much deep meaning is packed into this short word: it is a greeting, a thank you, openness, and trust. This word conveys confidence in goodwill, good neighborliness, cooperation, and mutual support.
Today, the World Organization of Writers (WOW) announces a unique initiative uniting writers from all over the world:
We are opening the World Magazine Hall – WMH/VJZ, a platform that will showcase leading literary magazines worldwide.
This space will become a symbol of creative unity, a source of inspiration for millions of authors and readers, and a cultural bridge between peoples. We invite you to participate in this grand project!”
