Anything Could Happen is a Slovenian multi-author or collaborative poetry volume from Slovenia, associated with Barbara Jur_a, Jana Putrle Srdi_, translated by Barbara Jursa, and published by Midsummer Night’s Press, A in 2014. It is a Slovenian collaborative or multi-author volume animated by chance, intimacy, and queer or social possibility. The title has a bright instability, the feeling that the poem’s task is to keep the future open. I would not ask the reader to solve this book before feeling it. The better invitation is to start with the image that will not quite explain itself, then follow the pressure of cadence, silence, and address. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Slovenia. It gives English-language readers another route into how poetry travels: not as a tidy report from elsewhere, but as a living encounter with local weather, historical pressure, and the privacy of a voice.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
