My news for you is an anthology translated by Geoffrey Squires from Irish, gathering Ireland Irish-language poetry through a chorus of Irish poems arranged as news from a language that refuses disappearance. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so I would not treat it as one poet’s private weather. The better entrance is through announcement, gathering, translation, and the feeling that an anthology can arrive like a letter. Anthologies can become maps, but the best ones also leave room for wandering, disagreement, and surprise. My news for you belongs in the translated poetry library because it treats Irish-language poetry as living communication, not a heritage display. It gives a reader several doors into a tradition before asking them to choose only one.

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.
