Poetry

私にとって詩作とは、革命的な何かである。詩が正直さを分かち合う時、何よりも作者と読者の両方の心と魂を揺り動かすことができる。表現の形として、詩作は人々を癒し、つなぐ力を持っている。詩的な言葉が国家の考えを変えることさえある。このページでは、他の作家の方による作品を私が翻訳したものと、私自身の書いた詩の両方をお読みいただくことができる。

Poetry is something revolutionary: It has the power to open people’s eyes, and move their hearts and spirits into action. It has the power to connect and to heal. The poetic word can literally change the course of a nation. On this page you’ll find the poems of other writers that I’ve translated, as well as some I’ve written myself.
