The Word Exchange: Anglo-Saxon Poems in Translation

<p><strong>"A book the many fans of Heaney's <em>Beowulf</em> might take home and dip into, almost at random, for years." ―<em>Publishers Weekly</em></strong></p> Featuring 123 all-new translations by seventy-four of our most celebrated poets―including Seamus Heaney, Robert Pinsky, Billy Collins, Eavan Boland, Richard Wilbur, and many others―“this brilliant anthology infuses new vigor into Old English poetry” (<em>Library Journal</em>). Presented in an authoritative bilingual edition, <em>The Word Exchange</em> is as fascinating and multivocal as the original literature it translates.
