BIC CODE DCF Poetry, CFP Translation

• The first full UK publication of this award-winning Russian-born American poet and translator

• Deeply serious and yet highly entertaining, these translingual poems explore the effect of non-native language on emotion and experience

• Poetry that engages with other languages but also reflects upon itself - words, idioms, and sentences are recontextualised to convey the experience of non-nativeness

• Includes four sonnet cycles dealing with the relationship between interpretation and emotion; bringing up children in a foreign language; foreign-language processing of inherited historical trauma; and translation
