Thresholds: Essays on the International Prague Poetry Scene explores the critical impact of four of the most prominent Anglophone poets active in Prague over the past 20 years--Gwendolyn Albert, Louis Armand, Laura Conway and Vincent Farnsworth--placing them within the tradition of Prague emigre writers like Marina Tsvetaeva, the minoritarian tradition of Franz Kafka, post-1989 social activism, and the continuing development of Czech surrealism. The collection addresses issues of transculturality, transnationalism, locality and regionalism. The essays & interviews collected here provide insights into the concerns of an ongoing international discussion about what has come to be termed translocal poetry.

Contributors include: Gwendolyn Albert, Ali Alizadeh, Louis Armand, Laura Conway, Chris Crawford, Stephan Delbos, Vadim Erent, Jane Lewty, Jules Mann, Katerina Pinosova.
