At the end of the world, by T︠S︡vetanka Elenkova, is a Bulgarian poetry collection from Bulgaria, translated by Jonathan Dunne, published by Shearsman Books in 2012. It is a Bulgarian collection drawn toward edges, endings, and last horizons, where the end of the world may also be a place to begin noticing. Rather than forcing the poems into a clean thesis, I would let the book remain somewhat unruly. Translation is useful exactly there, where the English line carries both arrival and residue. What matters is the reader’s permission to sit with that residue until feeling arrives before explanation.

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.
