Very pleased to have new translations of poetry and prose by Durs Grünbein and Ulrike Almut Sandig in the new edition of prestigious magazine New England Review. They are part of a specially curated section on exciting devleopments in contemporary German literature.
See NER 37.3 (2016) here with its array of German translations and original works of poetry, essays, stories, and plays. Whether you marvel at what is not lost in translation or lose yourself in the language of a poem, this issue brings the world home with a focus on Germany then and now, and a delicious slice of American baseball (just in time for the post-season).
