#evolutionarypoems, by Mihret Kebede, is a Amharic poetry collection from Ethiopia, translated by Anna Moschovakis, published by Circumference Books in 2025. It is a contemporary Amharic collection whose hashtagged title already suggests mutation, public speech, and the poem trying to survive the internet’s speed. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation, but the chance to let one poet’s particular difficulty create its own weather.

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.
