Premise: Matthew Mead (born 1924, Buckinghamshire, died 2009) was an English poet as well as a translator, with his wife Ruth, of German poets, including Johannes Bobrowski and Nelly Sachs. He edited the magazine "Satis" and lived in Germany. A selection of his poems appears in "Penguin Modern Poets 16", together with Harry Guest and Jack Beeching.
Hypothesis: German poets preferred Matthew as a translator over Ruth.
