An English Anthology is an anthology of Flemish-language poetry, translated and/or selected by Leonard Nolens, Paul Vincent, published by Carcanet Press Ltd. in 2018. As an anthology, the book marks translation as selection, hospitality, and rearrangement, a Flemish literary voice or set of voices entering English through deliberate curation. The book matters because anthologies are one of the great technologies of literary hospitality. They gather voices, preserve accidents, and let a reader sense the breadth of a tradition before pretending to understand it. That breadth is the real invitation here. The book gives permission to wander, compare, misrecognize, return, and let one poem open the door to another.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
