Author Description

<i>The Road to Inver</i> gathers the verse translations of Tom Paulin from four decades, and brings together distinguished versions of classical and European poets which have appeared in his previous collections, from <i>Liberty Tree</i> (1983) to <i>The Wind Dog</i> (1999). But <i>The Road to Inver</i> also includes dozens of new and recent translations from the European cannon; it is at once a new volume of poetry by Tom Paulin and a personal anthology of European poetry, ranging from Horace to Heine and covering a surprising range of French, German, Russian and Italian poets. <i>The Road to Inver</i> is the richest collection of its kind since Robert Lowell's <i>Imitations</i>.
