Overture to the March MP

Astrological Spring has finally begun and the summer semester is in full swing. With the summer holidays far away, some people decided to write an article on their latest trips abroad - the vivid travel reports included in this issue are from journeys west to France and Costa Rica and east to Ukraine and Poland. One’s spirits can be uplifted by reading the interviews with the ever-enthusiastic professor Tomáš Gráf and the humorous Prague-based poet Willie Watson. There is also the traditional pair of poems and a short story that is written by me. I hope your attention will also be diverted to the article written by Angie Siljanoska, “The Best Are Easiest to Talk To” which introduces her fellow student Jitka, a Prague Conservatoire graduate and music teacher with 30 years of experience, who shares her reasons for returning to university as a student of Anglophone Studies.
