Translator Antonia Lloyd-Jones is the translator of Nobel Prize laureate Olga Tokarczuk. Translator Mira Rosenthal is a past fellow of Stanford University's Stegner Fellowship.

Dbrowska joins some of Poland's most renowned poets, including Zbigniew Herbert, Olga Tokarczuk, Adam Zagajewski, and Tomas Rozycki, as a winner of Poland's prestigious Kocielski Award. Readers will see the Polish and English poems on facing pages.

Translator Karen Kovacik was Indiana's Poet Laureate from 2012-2014.

There's a growing awareness of Dbrowska's talent as her work gets published in numerous U.S. publications, including the Brooklyn Rail, Harper's, The Literary Review, The Los Angeles Review, Threepenny Review, and elsewhere.

The three translators loved the poet's work so much that they decided to collaborate on a collection together.
