Overture to the Janaury/February double-issue

Since December was a busy time with Christmas, New Year, last lessons and first anxiety attacks from the upcoming exam period – so understandably no MP was published in that month. To catch up with the months, what you are reading now is the overture to the January and February double-issue.

One often hears the words “quality, not quantity”. Even though this MP is longer, I decided to put in new themes and people outside of our university. So alongside the usual sections with poems and event reviews, you can look forward to reading interviews with our professor Justin Quinn, the Prague-based British musician Alasdair Bouch and American writer Hans Fellmann. Furthermore, there are articles on Prague, written by three ERASMUS or exchange students who I met during the search for a native-speaker editor back in October. It was interesting to notice that though discussing the same theme, they each focused on something else, like the education system, food or Czech history.

I hope you will find this issue as enriching a read as I did when putting it together.
