The Europe of Trusts, translated from the French by Maria Espinosa, brings Susan Howe’s French-language work into English through Sun & Moon Pr. Published in 2021, it is best approached as a book of encounter rather than as a book to solve. The title sounds institutional and haunted at once, as if Europe were both a political arrangement and a fragile imaginative debt. What I want from a translated poetry library is not only coverage, but temperament: the chance to meet a mind arranging the world differently. This volume does that work. It gives the reader enough ground to enter, then enough strangeness to keep the encounter from becoming merely informational.

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.
