polska-slovensko
Two poem-cycles, one portraying Mifsud's trip to Poland in 2002 and the other his trips to Slovakia (2003, 2004) were published in 2004 in a bi-lingual edition by Edizzjonijiet Emma Delezio. The collection, Polska-Slovensko, was launched during the writers' dinner organised by the Royal Embassy of the Netherlands in Malta on 5th November.
Immanuel Mifsud writes his impressions of these two countries which shared a similar Communist past and a similar present, both joining the European Union in 2004.
While some of the poems are very personal, others 'narrate' milestones in the history of both countries, such as the holocaust in Poland, and the Slovak National Uprising.
The English version is by Maria Grech Ganado.
