In Love in Another Language Dick Davis is shown to be the outstanding formal
poet of his generation, a master of rhyme and metre, a poet worthy of keeping
company with the best lyric writers in our tradition. His Collected Poems draws
on eight previous publications and includes a section of new work. Davis has
also established himself as 'the leading translator of Persian literature in our
time' (Washington Post) and this volume includes a selection of his celebrated
translations.
Davis's original poems evoke the experiences of travel and of living in a
culture in which one is a stranger, where empathy is at once difficult and
necessary. His translations can be read as a record of his attempts at such
empathy, in poetic terms, across centuries and cultures.
