Chenxin Jiang wins Words Without Borders 2020 Poems in Translation Contest<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Words Without Borders <\/em>writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the midst of a pandemic defined by isolation, our second Poems in Translation Contest brought together 935 poems from 448 poets and 87 countries, translated from 58 languages. We are thrilled to announce, alongside our partners at the Academy of American Poets, this year\u2019s winners, selected by Pushcart prizewinner David Tomas Martinez. The four winning poems will be published in Poem-a-Day<\/em> and in Words Without Borders<\/em> every Saturday this September, which is National Translation Month, and into the first week of October. In celebrating these works, we hope to expand the readership of groundbreaking international poetry and to create, in a time of global crisis, opportunities for connection and meaning across borders, languages, and cultures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to Chenxin Jiang for her translation of “Trial Run<\/a>” \u9810\u7fd2 by Yau Ching \u6e38\u975c!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
