To begin ...

As the twentieth century fades out
the nineteenth begins
.......................................again
it is as if nothing happened
though those who lived it thought
that everything was happening
enough to name a world for & a time
to hold it in your hand
unlimited.......the last delusion
like the perfect mask of death

Jerome Rothenberg: A Selection of Books Translated into Other Languages 2000-2021

                                                                              announcement circa 2013 of a selected poems in Romanian

[The dream, shared with many, was of a poetry that could reach across borders and languages, for which translation of course was the primary tool and the translators the ones who made it happen.  For me the process began even earlier than the 21st-century works that I’m highlighting here, my first translated books being Vroege Gedichten [Early Poems], translated into Dutch/Flemish by Jan Mysjkin in 1960, and Poemas Gorky [The Gorky Poems], translated into Spanish  by Sergio Mondragón and Margaret Randall in 1966.  Other translations appeared in magazines and anthologies from then on, but the work, as it came into poetry books of my own, expanded greatly as we moved into the new century and millennium.  It’s to express my gratefulness that I’m setting out the following list of translated books and translators here, hoping that I haven’t forgotten any in the process and that a listing like this will lead others to find further works by the poet- translators who brought the poetry across for me.
