Cordite Poetry Review has teamed up with venerable German literary magazine, DAS GEDICHT, to publish translations of Australian works into German. These translations are directly aimed for German readership (this is to say that the English originals are not on the site). The first three poems are from Eileen Chong, Alex Skovron and Luke Fischer. Translations of Tim Wright, Ann Vickery, Michelle Leber and Elizabeth Campbell are now up.
Our big thanks to Paul-Henri Campbell for the translations.
