Middle of the world
D. H. Lawrence
This sea will never die, neither will it ever grow old
nor cease to be blue, nor in the dawn
cease to lift up its hills
and let the slim black ship of Dionysos come sailing in
with grape-vines up the mast, and dolphins leaping …

Anyone who have been travelling to the Mediterranean and the countries bordering the famous Sea have most certainly been in “danger” of falling in love with the people, culture, art, film, food, music, atmosphere and not the least – the literature who tries to describe the feelings the wind and sea evokes!
Our idea with this site is to be able to share our fascination of this world with others and let it be a place where one may read poems/short texts created by poets/authors that live (have lived/travelled) around these waters and, through their literary efforts, have captured the very essence of the Mediterranean world!
