The Dirty Goat 17
 
Current Issue - The Dirty Goat 17
Excerpts
The Dirty Goat 17 features poetry, prose, drama and visual art from across the globe. With seventeen poets from Chile featured in this issue, our mini-anthology of Chilean poetry offers an intriguing introduction to a diverse range of voices. Poetry from Russia's Vyacheslav Kupriyanov, Germany's Ursula Krechel, Argentina's Maria Rosa Lojo, Portugal's Antonio Ramos Rosa, Brazil's Cyro De Mattos and a number of new American writers offers readers a superb international sampler of the current poetic voice. The play featured in this issue, Pornographic Angel, takes as its starting point the hilarious and disturbing short stories of Brazilian master stylist Nelson Rodrigues. The two full-color visual art sections—Gabriel Navar's political and comical collages and Małgorzata Maj's modern Pre-Raphaelite interpretations—celebrate the work of two groundbreaking artists. The dynamic prose of João Almino's award-winning Brazilian novel, The Five Seasons of Love, closes this issue in dramatic style.
