The Literary Magazine Poet
Poet (ISSN 3119-2270) is a Nordic–Bosnian-Herzegovinian literary magazine founded on the initiative of Milena Rudež, inspired by the Danish-Bosnian literary magazine Poet, which was published in Copenhagen from 2000 to 2002. The new magazine further develops this concept within a Nordic and multilingual context.
Its aim is to foster new artistic collaborations, primarily in the field of poetry, with a particular focus on contemporary writers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Poet serves as a literary platform for publishing literary works both in their original languages and in translation. Texts are published in one of the Nordic languages with translations into Bosnian, Croatian, or Serbian, and vice versa, or into English.
The magazine is published both online and in print. It presents contemporary poetry and short prose from the Nordic countries and Bosnia and Herzegovina by both established and emerging writers. In addition, it features news, essays, and articles that promote literary cooperation, translation, and cultural exchange.

Publishing Support
Published with the support of Wistifonden, Denmark
Wistifonden – The Folmer Wisti Foundation for International Understanding was established by Folmer Wisti (1908–2000) and Helle Wisti (1923–2015). Beginning in 1974, they funded the foundation with their own resources and designated it as the universal heir to their estate.
The purpose of establishing the foundation was to provide independent support for the activities set out in its statutes, which also constitute an important part of the mission of the Danish Cultural Institute. The Institute was founded in 1940 on the initiative of Folmer Wisti (under the name Det Danske Selskab until 1989), and he served as its Secretary General until 1983.
