We were later joined by literature professor Patricia Costa, and along the way weíve received support from our international editorial board as well as from a select group of sponsors.
One of the main discussion points in the beginning was what to call the magazine, and we finally agreed on EUTERPE, the Muse of lyric poetry and "one who brings joy", one who "delights and charms".
The wording is deliberate because this publication is not about European literature (such a term is as difficult to define as "Commonwealth literature"); rather EUTERPE aims to be a showcase of new works by writers currently residing in Europe, whatever their origin.
