Who’s Who
Who’s Who is undoubtedly the most “wanted” publication, during and after the Festival. It is published as a kind of participants’ anthology, for it contains bib-bibliographical data and photographs of all poets-participants in the current year. It also features poetry of each of the participants, translated in several languages. Other useful information one can find in it is the Festival Programme and the names and logos of all sponsors, donors, institutions and foundations who supported various festival events and publications of the festival.
An Anthology of Macedonian poetry
Bearing in mind the fact that Macedonian poetic heritage was insufficiently presented in translation during the Festival, the Organising Board of the SPE decided to publish a special annual thematic selection of contemporary Macedonian poetry in two volumes, and to present it at a special reading during the festival. The selection is published in Macedonian and English. The poets of the ethnic communities in Macedonia are also published in the Macedonian volume: in their mother tongue and in Macedonian translation.

An Anthology of a Contemporary National/Regional poetry of the World
One of the most attractive events in the programme of the International Struga Poetry Evenings Festival is the publication and presentation of an exclusive edition, An Anthology of a Contemporary National/Regional poetry of the World. Owing to this tradition, the literature translated in Macedonian has so far been enriched with over 35 such projects. This great publishing endevour on behalf of the International Struga Poetry Evenings Festival enables the Macedonian readership to be constantly in touch with the best and the most recent achievements in world poetry.

The “Pleiades”
The “Pleiades” edition was established in 1999 as a result of the Struga Poetry Evenings Festival’s growing need for better presentation of its renowned poets-participants. The symbolism of the Pleiades constelation, which consisits of seven stars suggests the transaltion and publicaton of same number of books. However, due to objective circumstances (finances, translation difficulties, obtaining royalies etc.) their number in the beginning varied, only to stabilise in the past three years.
