READ 7

by Sarah Riggs (Editor), Cole Swensen (Editor)

Poetry. Translation. Five French poets and five American poets walk into a bar... OK... OK. It was really a cultural institute that they walked into and spent a week translating each other's work. Or making new work together. Trading notes. Lounging in the garden. Improvising solutions—and walking into the bar across the street. Read the results.

Featuring work by Pascal Poyet, Lisa Robertson, Eleni Sikelianos, Yves di Manno, Jean-Patrice Courtois, Joe Ross, Sarah Riggs, Isabelle Garron, Cole Swensen and Vincent Broqua.
