NEW EUROPEAN POETS   “[This] anthology—designed to emphasize poets not already well represented in English—is sure to be a boon to all kinds of poetry lovers and an important reference for decades to come. [. . .] [T]hese poets range from the surreal to the all-too-real, portraying decades of sweeping political change throughout Europe and rendering inner lives shaped by circumstances and places as varied as the languages in which they write. American readers are sure to find many new favorites among those included, and they may even find their whole conception of contemporary European literature upturned.   —Publishers Weekly (starred review)   New European Poets thrilling expands the view and widens the horizon for contemporary American poetry. It puts us into deep contact with other voices, other shores, and thereby extends our knowledge of other poetries, other countries. It is necessary reading.”   —Edward Hirsch   “Thank you for this feast. New European Poets achieves what has been due for a long time. To mine, not for gold—that can destroy our mother earth’s  skin—but for European poets. Vastly unexplored territory. If I were a young American poet, I would avidly read this book, discover new friends, fall in love with some new Pessoas, dig deeper and bring them into stronger light.”   —Tomaz Salamun   “New European Poets collects, for the first time, the work of poets from the latter twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, together with new generations of translators of the poetry of Europe. For this impressive undertaking, for the knowledge, discernment and generosity of its editors, my gratitude is immense.”   —Carolyn Forche
