Black Woman and Other Poems, by Nancy Morejon

About This Book

The Grenadian playwright and poet Joan Anim-Addo asked me to translate a selection of the work of the internationally-renowned Cuban poet Nancy Morejón for her Mango Press series on Caribbean writers in translation. Nancy chose the poems herself, approved my translations and advised me as the work progressed. It was a very fruitful collaboration from my perspective, especially as Nancy and I did not meet face to face until the book  launch in London.
