As this gloriously diverse, revelatory selection of translations
from the Poetry Translation Centre's first decade proves, nothing
has invigorated poetry in English more than translation. Here you
will find 111 brilliant poems translated from 27 different
languages (ranging from Arabic to Zapotec: all the original scripts
are included) by 45 of the world's leading poets. Arranged on a
journey from exile to ecstasy, these powerful poems have been
co-translated by some of the UK's best-loved poets including Jo
Shapcott, Sean O'Brien, Lavinia Greenlaw, W.N. Herbert, Mimi
Khalvati and Nick Laird. Founded by Sarah Maguire, the Poetry
Translation Centre aims to transform English verse through engaging
with the rich poetic traditions of the UK's recent immigrant
communities for whom poetry is of overwhelming importance. Reading
these Somali, Afghan, Sudanese and Kurdish poets (26 countries are
represented), you will understand why their scintillating and
heartbreaking poems inspire such devotion.
