Coloured Handprints is an anthology translated and edited through Anatoly Kudryavitsky, gathering German poetry connected to Russia. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so it should be named plainly as an anthology. The book’s field includes handprints, color, gathering, and cross-cultural contact, but the larger importance is the act of gathering: voices placed near one another until a tradition, crisis, period, or language becomes newly audible. I would read it as both reference and invitation. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave doors open for wandering. Coloured Handprints belongs in the translated poetry library because it helps readers find more than one entrance into a literary world.

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.
