Relocations is an anthology of Russian poetry, translated by Anna Khasin, Sibelan Forrester, Catherine Ciepiela, published by Zephyr Press in 2013. It is an anthology of Russian women poets that makes movement, displacement, and literary inheritance feel formally alive. Its importance is not only representational; it gives English-language readers a many-voiced field of pressure, experiment, and survival. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved or reduced to context before it can begin working. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Russia; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like 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.
