What instantly sets Zoland Poetry apart from other anthologies is that all the work is previously unpublished and the translations are presented as an integral part of the contemporary poetry scene, rather than as something exotic slipped between the pages of a book filled primarily with English-language poets. Equal footing is given to voices from all across the globe.
Contributors to the third annual include poems by Albert Goldbarth, Deborah Woodward, Ron Padgett, Menna Elfyn, D. A. Powell, Elizabeth Hughey, William Corbett, Zhai Yongming, Liliana Ursu and Major Jackson, alongside translations by Sean Cotter, Andrea Lingenfelter, Nancy Arbuthnot, Michael Naydan and Arthur Sze. Featured authors in No. 3 are celebrated poet, anthropologist, and literary critic Nathaniel Tarn, interviewed by Daniel Bouchard, and Joshua Marie Wilkinson in conversation with author and translator Nathalie Stephens.
