Publisher’s description: It is one of the most beautiful journals you will ever hold. Here you’ll find poetry, story & art from the exiled, expatriate, immigrant, translated – on both literal as well as figurative axes.
Versal is an independent literary journal out of Amsterdam. Its search is simple: for writers with an instinct for language and line break. Versal’s unique layout, range, and explorations make it a vital addition to our contemporary milieu.
