Arthur Sze’s poet laureate project has focused on the value of poetry in translation. Watch the recorded reading and discussion from his new publication Transient Worlds.
In the introduction, Sze says, “Translation, after all, builds bridges and makes connections. The more we give, the more everyone has. Great poetry ignites and reignites our shared humanity over time, and the transient worlds of poetry in translation play a vital role in bringing us together.”
