Barkan, Stanley H.--Adam Szyper, Translator Under the Apple Tree/Pod jablonia
Krakow, Poland Oficyna Konfraterni Poetow 1998 83-86900-64-4 / First Paperback New Perfect 4 1/2x6 1/2, 96 pp Bozena Korska
Stanley Barkan has a way with him that tends to get the best out of people and out of words. Now, however, I wonder whether or not he has gone too far. With the Polish version of his Under the Apple Tree, I feel that his eloquence and sensibility have been carried over, to see that it still tastes like a macintosh or like Old Scratch's Granny Smith. But ever if, it will be pleasurable. Stanley has that effect. --Gregory Rabassa, World-renowned translator of Spanish & Portuguese literature, including two Nobel Prize winners, Asturias & Garcia Marquez

Dayen, Aleksey—author & translator No!Love
Merrick, New York, USA Cross-Culutral Communications 2008 0893042242 / 978-0-89304-224-0 First Hard Cover New Poetry 5 1/2x8 1/2 Cover design by Mark Polyakov
"Aleksey Dayen creates poetry without pretense. Somehow, he has managed to plunge into a direct feed. What you hear is what it is: a little night music, a little dodging around Manhattan street corners, but no evasions, no apologies. Indoors, these are open-faced (as much as in your face) exposures. There's no second-guessing here . . . in a world that is (as most anybody might know) mostly guesswork." —John Dotson

Obradovic, Biljana D., Editor and Translator FIVES / PETICE: Bilingual Anthology—Fifty Poems by Serbian and American Poets
Belgrade and New York Contact Line and Cross-Cultural Communications 2002 0-89304-513-6 / 9780893045135 First Hard Cover New Poetry 5 1/2x 7 15/16" Book design by Stanoje Rdulovic
In this unique book, poet, editor, and translator, Biljana D. Obradovic, has selected five contemporary poets from Serbia and five from the United States to intoduce their work outside their countries in a cross-cultural exchange. Fluent in both languages, Obradovic has produced graceful translations in both directions yet includes the originals for a meaningful selection of each poet's work for readers in either language. The result is a collection of poems remarkably diverse, yet with surprising parallels. As she notes in the preface, "In the current international political climate, the publication of this anthology, and works like it, is essential for an increase in tolerance between two nations such as Yugoslavia and the United States . . . [but] my intention is not to minimize differences, not to erase the tensions that have kept these two countries apart, but to exhibit the impressive talent of individual poets from both coutnries, for it is finally only through our mutual recognition of what each can offer and teach us that there is any real hope for our mutual survival and cultural prosperity."

Stern, Gerald--Adam Szyper, Translator Underground Dancing / Podziemny taniec
New York, USA/Krakow, Poland Cross-Cultural Communications / Wydawnictwo Baran I Suszczynski 1999 0-89304-366-4 / 9780893043667 New Paperback New Poetry 4 1/2x6 1/2, 128 pp Sheba Sharrow
Winner of the 1998 National Book Award: Gerald Stern's poetry is of dark rapture. He hails bedraggled animals and leaves, elevates events that do not in themselves achieve high drama, and transforms misery into celebration. His largeness is subtle, for in his small commonplace subjects--the rooster, the squirrel, the shirt--one finds traces of the century's major events.
