The Word Exchange

Resumen del libro

"A book the many fans of Heaney's Beowulf might take home and dip into, almost at random, for years." -Publishers Weekly

Featuring 123 all-new translations by seventy-four of our most celebrated poets-including Seamus Heaney, Robert Pinsky, Billy Collins, Eavan Boland, Richard Wilbur, and many others--this brilliant anthology infuses new vigor into Old English poetry- (Library Journal). Presented in an authoritative bilingual edition, The Word Exchange is as fascinating and multivocal as the original literature it translates.

Greg Delanty is an artist-in-residence at Saint Michael College. He lives in Burlington, Vermont. Michael Matto is an associate professor of English at Adelphi University. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. Seamus Heaney received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995; he teaches regularly at Harvard University and lives in Dublin.
