iets anders | something else: vertaling van gedichten | translation of poems

This book is a translation of a selection of Dutch poems by two living award-winning poets of the Netherlands Ingmar Heytze and Saskia Stehouwer into English by two American poets Joel Thomas Katz and Robert Perry with their own special approach to collaboration. The translations are accompanied by essays, each written by Katz and Perry, about their experience of language and the translation of poetry, along with what they learned about Dutch art and culture through translating the extraordinary poems of Heytze and Stehouwer. Perry considers the book to be an ideal project for his imprint Dutch Poet Press with the opportunity to bring together his interest in art, design, and poetry, and the Netherlands.
