Summary
This anthology is a collection of Afrikaans poems with their
English translations from poets who are actively writing and
publishing. The editor hopes it will go some way towards remedying
the present lack of exposure and encourage future publications
offering translations of writing also representative of the broader
traditions of historical and twentieth-century Afrikaans poetry.
Individuals were asked to submit up to ten poems; some offered
their own translations, but for the remainder, a panel of excellent
English translators were used. In each case the poet worked in
close collaboration with the translator of his or her choice.
