Untranslatable is a book-length collection of poems that all start from an untranslatable worda word found in other languages that we do not have in English. The poems written from the words capture how this word is or can be lived, defined from a natural and imaginative world perspective. Lovers of language take delight in those wonderful words which refuse to succumb to literal translation. Untranslatable captures the imaginative essence of these words and our underlying sense that, after all, nothing slips our understanding. Marcia Peck, writer and cellist in the Minnesota Orchestra
