“A Proclamation for Peace Translated for the World,” edited by Kim Stafford and Allison deFreese

LC Professor emeritus and former Oregon Poet Laureate Kim Stafford has edited a new anthology with Allison deFreese entitled, “A Proclamation for Peace Translated for the World.”

A miraculous book envisioned by co-editor Allison deFreese at the Oregon Society of Translators & Interpreters.

Thanks to Allison’s network and with her help, Kim Stafford’s peace poem in English is translated into fifty languages, together with notes on translators and their languages, and QR access to dozens of voiced readings.

The cover image by Michael Nye shows a child holding a poem by Mahmoud Darwish.

This book will be featured at the fall conference of the Oregon Society of Translators & Interpreters, and also at several local events listed below where all are welcome to attend.
