The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry

My first post in Translation: A Chronic Infection was dedicated to the poetical anthology New European Poets (to be more precise, it was limited just to its Ukrainian part). Now some time has passed and it's high time to announce another fine poetical anthology.

So it's going to be a collection of worldwide poetry gathered under the title The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry. Its editors are Ilya Kaminsky (incidentally, he was a regional editor - Ukraine, Belarus and Russia - and translator in the anthology mentioned in previous paragraph) and Susan Harris in cooperation with Words Without Borders magazine.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a list of content. However, I have no doubts that it will be a 592-page-long volume of must-read poetry. Here is already praise from John Ashbery and Edward Hirsch - just to name few - for this thick volume.

And I almost forget, the book will be available for purchase from March 2, 2010.
