LITTERATEUR redefining world May 2026

We began our journey as an international magazine named “Litterateur Redefining World” with the tagline “Unfold a world, untold and unseen.” For us, litterateurs are writers, poets, and artists — all those who harness the power of words in service of humanity.In an era divided by walls of fear, hatred, and indifference, we believe literature still holds the profound ability to heal, connect, and transform societies. Our dream is to transcend human-constructed boundaries and foster a united humanity that rises in love — with one another and with nature. Now is the time to wield words for the world.Let us unite.
This May 2026 edition is a landmark special anthology released to mark International Workers’ Day. It issues a powerful call: Writers of the world, unite!

The ART section features Giacomo Cuttone (Italy) with his ink-on-paper work “Resurrection under the sun” (2022), and Shirley Smothers (USA) with “The Caring Nurse,” a tribute for International Nurses Day on May 12, 2026.
