Found in Translation is a unique and exciting look at the process of translation, where poems from seventeen poets from Quebec are each translated by five different translators. "The premise for this anthology is to provide the reader of poetry, and more specifically, the reader of translated poetry, which I sincerely hope is the same and one person, an appreciation of translation in the works. I have included an original poem (or two) by seventeen poets of Quebec, followed by five very different translations that each poem generated. The effect is unique and, as one turns the pages, recognizable as being the translator’s voice. There are varied voices speaking in this anthology. There are the French-speaking voices of the poets, but there are also the English-speaking voices of the translators. Each one with its limited number of elements produces a distinct and recognizable music. Translation is a feast for humanity." ~ Antonio D’Alfonso
