description: These hundred and fifty or so poems spanning the whole of the 20th century have been chosen with two distinct qualities in firstly, the poetic quality of the translation, and secondly, faithfulness to the original. In most cases, the versions have been made by practising poets, many of which have been newly commissioned. The emphasis is on poems rather than poets and is accompanied by an introduction which signals and describes the movements and contours of the literary map.
