This volume brings together an international group of scholars, poets, translators, and publishers to explore new developments in both poetry and translation and the fluid boundary between them. The unique format combines a series of conversations between leading poets whose writing is informed by the experience of translation and being translated with essays addressing theoretical, aesthetic, and cross-cultural aspects of contemporary poetry translation in English, German, and Russian.
