CR is celebrating spring with a new look because, as you will see, it's time for a party. There's much to celebrate, starting with the 200th birthday of Poland's most famous exile, Frederic Chopin, born in Żelazowa Wola, just outside of Warsaw. We join the festivities bearing gifts of poetry, prose and a guide to Chopin events worldwide. In CR's first fiction, Eva Stachniak transforms her readers into aristocratic guests at a salon in Paris in the company of Polish exiles, among them, Chopin himself.

Were the composer alive today, would he accept an invitation to give a concert at Warsaw's Soviet-built Palace of Culture and Science? Would he dance in the Palace's hip club Kafe Kulturalna? Or would he side with Minister of Foreign Affairs Radek Sikorski, who is suggesting Poland "demolish its own symbol of communist misrule"? Whether you agree or not, we invite you to follow the little red arrows to find out more about what this issue has in store. Join our global Polish party, open to all. Bring your friends. We'll introduce you to both emerging and seasoned writers from around the world. All you have to bring is your ideas... and find a sun-filled, comfortable spot from where you can enjoy CR's spring issue. MORE >
