‘Measureless Melodies’, MPT’s April issue, highlights Vietnamese poetry in translation, in a jam-packed issue including translations spanning centuries of verse, with work by Hồ Xuân Hương, Nguyệt Phạm, H n Mặc Tử, Quyên Nguyễn-Ho ng, Chế Lan Viên, and both a poem and essay by Nhã Thuyên, the latter speaking poetically to the resistances and resiliencies of the Vietnamese language. Plus: an interview with Najwan Darwish and Kareem James Abu-Zeid on ‘attunement’ in their collaboration, and winners of the Stephen Spender Trust Prize and the MPT/YPN Young Poets’ Challenge—Jonathan Bastable’s translation of Joseph Brodsky, and Kexin Huang’s poetic self-translation of her name, respectively. We also have a self-translation by Dzifa Benson, coincidentally centred on naming conventions, and translations of César Dávila Andrade by Jonathan Simkins, Barbara Gruszka-Zych by Halina Maria Boniszewska, Fabio Franzin by André Naffis-Sahely. This and much more in our new issue of the groundbreaking magazine dedicated to poetry in translation: for a poetry magazine belonging to the world, read MPT.
'Wrap It in Banana Leaves' features a focus on food poetry, with new translations of Adriana Lisboa, Lena Yau, Fu Hao, Federico Garcia Lorca, Jhio Jan Navarro, Birendra Chattopadhyay, and AW Priatmojo. Our first Language Justice column is by historian and food writer NA Mansour, on the ethics and emotions involved in translating food words under present-day colonialism; there is also an essay by Salma Harland, on her translation in this issue of Kushajim's epicurean verse, that a caliph demanded be cooked in real life-and a whole menu elaborating on it. Also: new Italian poems self-translated by Jhumpa Lahiri, alongside a translated interview with the poet from the Non Solo Muse project, on her first foray into English poetry that only arose through self-translation. There are also exciting new translations of Mozambican poet Hirondina Joshua, Indigenous Guatemalan poet Humberto Ak'abal, and Kosovar Albanian poet Ervina Halili. All this and more in the new issue of the groundbreaking magazine dedicated to poetry in translation: for the best in world poetry, read MPT.
