| |  | | | In Brief
"Working from cribs prepared from Romanian by Joana Russell-Gebbett, eight English and Irish poets have rendered Sorescu's poems into English. Whentheir choices of poems overlap, we are offered alternative versions." (WorldLit Today)
| | | | From The Publisher
Hatched in Belfast by a clutch of poets, egged on by the Romanian poet, eight writers well up the poetry pecking order cooked up this book in tribute to the Romanian master chef. These are not hard-boiled translations but lightly scrambled versions, and if some seem flavored with Heaney, Hughes, or Constantine, that's quite in keeping with the anarchic free-ranging spirit of Sorescu's comic genius. Our poets have poached freely from the original ingredients and whisked up a souffle of intriguing flavor and virtuosity. Translators: Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, D.J. Enright, David Constantine, Michael Hamburger, Michael Longley, Paul Muldoon, and William Scannell.

"Sorescu is already being tipped as a future Nobel prizewinner. His poems, however, have crowned him with the only distinction that matters. If you don't read any other new book of poetry this year, read this one." -- Sunday Times
