jimmy4559 on 27 Jul 12If you have ever studied a foreign language you will realise that translation is not simply a matter of swapping one word in one language for the equivalent in another. Australian poet John Kinsella has for many years worked at translating many great poets for his own enjoyment (he is not a professional translator). This collection gathers together many of these and provides a great introduction to French, German, Greek, Russian and Chinese poetry stretching over 2700 years.
