The Word Exchange: Anglo-Saxon Poems in Translation

"A book the many fans of Heaney's Beowulf might take home and dip into, almost at random, for years." ―Publishers Weekly

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” (Library Journal). Presented in an authoritative bilingual edition, The Word Exchange is as fascinating and multivocal as the original literature it translates.
