Satchidanandan, Candice James, Melissa Studdard, B. R. Dionysius, Taslima Nasrin, Hemant Divate, Abhay Kumar, Kishwar Naheed, and Nathalie Handal.[5][6]

Collaboration with Stremez[edit]

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[edit]

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]
