Global Literary Network
Begun as a collaboration between Irish Pages and Sarajevske Sveske, the Global Literary Network is a project bringing together literary journals from across continental and language divides. Participants thus far hail from Belfast, Sarajevo, New York, and New Delhi. The stated goal is
to foster the appreciation of outstanding writing across national barriers through translation, reprints, interviews, journal exchanges, international publicity, cultural dialogue and other forms of publishing and literary cooperation.

Famous quotes containing the words global, literary and/or network:
“However global I strove to become in my thinking over the past twenty years, my sons kept me rooted to an utterly pedestrian view, intimately involved with the most inspiring and fractious passages in human development. However unconsciously by now, motherhood informs every thought I have, influencing everything I do. More than any other part of my life, being a mother taught me what it means to be human.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“She had exactly the German way: whatever was in her mind to be delivered, whether a mere remark, or a sermon, or a cyclopedia, or the history of a war, she would get it into a single sentence or die. Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of the Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
