Wherever I Lie Is Your Bed, the latest volume in the Two Lines World Writing in Translation series, collects the poetry and fiction of 30 authors, giving pause to the vulnerability of borders and transposed sense of place that contemporary writers the world over feel. A special section on Palestinian poetry selected by Marilyn Hacker pays tribute to the late Mahmoud Darwish with Fady Joudah's award-winning translations. Also included are works from Syria, Cuba, Denmark, and many other countries and languages.
The latest Two Lines collection of poetry and fiction in translation focuses on poetry from China's Uyghur ethnic minority. It also includes an excerpt from Lydia Davis's new translation of Madame Bovary and Susanna Fied's newest translations of poems by Danish master Inger Christensen.
