Turning Tides

This is quite possibly the best set of poetry translations I can remember reading. As a fan of both Dutch poetry as well as many of the first-rate Irish poets doing this translation, I expected to be pleased... but this far exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend this anthology.

Turning Tides : Modern Dutch & Flemish Verse in English Vers

I love to read poetry of other cultures but I always run into the problems with translations. I am often limited to the poetry in the languages I do know. What better idea then to have poets write translations. There are some fine examples of the poets represented from a rich culture Americans know so little about. It is truly a wonderful introduction to Dutch poetry.
