To the Winds Our Sails is an anthology translated and edited through Mary O’Donnell, Manuela Palacios, gathering Galician poetry connected to Spain. Its value comes from chorus rather than singular authorship, so it should be named plainly as an anthology. The book’s field includes sails, coast, departure, and the gathering power of Galician voices, 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. To the Winds Our Sails belongs in the translated poetry library because it helps readers find more than one entrance into a literary world.
