This issue showcases poetry-in-translation at its finest, and showcases the power and urgency of poetry and language as a way to connect peoples from different languages and cultures. In the words of our Guest Editor, Valzhyna Mort:

<>

Intuitively or by solicitation, a translator might come to a poem seeking an aesthetic encounter, but once at work, the choice of words is not only about dictionaries; it’s a moral choice. A choice to hear a voice, to give refuge to a voice, to take care of it, to honor it, to continue the testimony of this voice in another language. Translation is a conversation. And we have a lot to share with each other.
