Collaboration with Stremez

The Enchanting Verses collaborated with the Macedonian literary magazine Stremez in March 2011 to contribute to cultural exchange through poetry between Macedonia and the rest of the world.[7] [8] [9] This collaboration has received special mentions in the Diplomatic Bulletin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia along with other international media.[10] [11]

The Enchanting Poet

The journal bestows in each issue the title of The Enchanting Poet to a poet in recognition of contributions to the world of poetry. Some recipients include Sidney Wade[12] Jayanta Mahapatra, Mateja Matevski, Jovica Tasevski-Eternijan, and Stephen Gill.[13] [14] [15] Mateja Matevski was featured as The Enchanting Poet in 2011 who won the Golden Wreath Award later in that year.[16] [17] [18]
