15-Pressrelease-Popescushortlist Layout 1 Popescu European Poetry Translation Prize PRESS shortlist announced RELEASE For28 immediate February 2014release Shortlist for prestigious translation prize shines a spotlight on poetry 16 October 2015 For immediate release to ‘transform your sense of what’s possible’ A shortlist of six titles has been announced by this year’s judges of the Popescu European Poetry Translation Prize. The biennial prize is run by The Poetry Society and generously supported this year by the British Council, seeks the best collection of poetry translated from a living European language into English. Selecting the shortlist was a thrilling experience for judges Olivia McCannon and Clare Pollard that showed how translation can stretch the English language and get under the skin of a reader. Clare said of the process of whittling down the submitted titles to a shortlist: Judging this prize with Olivia has been a privilege and an education. These are the kind of books that turn you into a crazed enthusiast, pressing them into people’s hands and jabbering about how they’ve transformed your sense of what's possible. I hope this shortlist honours what is special about this prize by both celebrating radically diverse poetic voices and the translators whose generosity and talent allows us to hear them in English. Olivia McCannon added: How wonderful that a prize exists to recognize what translators of poetry can and do achieve, individually, and as a community: the innovative spaces they open up in their writing, the oxygenating effect of their conversations and questions, the alternative map of human warmth, wit, resilience and ingenuity we may, thanks to their efforts, lay over the cold lines of official borders. Faced with such a strong field, the judges selected a shortlist of six collections by seven translators, and have also awarded commendations for translators of a further five collections. Eligible titles were published between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2015. The winner of the Popescu European Poetry Translation Prize will be announced by The Poetry Society at an awards ceremony at Europe House in London on 23 November 2015. Poems from all of the shortlisted collections will be published in a pamphlet for free distribution in December.

Greg Garrard) The contrast between the largely enthusiastic response to ecocriticism in the Anglophone academy and its relative invisibility in the German-speaking world is a puzzle. Why has it yet to gain wider recognition as a field of literary study in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, countries in whose philosophy and cultural tradition nature features so prominently, whose people are shown by international surveys of public opinion to show a high degree of environmental concern, and where environmental issues rank consistently high on the political agenda? One reason may be that German scientists, political thinkers and philosophers have been pioneers in ecology since Humboldt and Haeckel, and non-fiction books have served as the primary medium of public debate on environmental issues in Germany.

(aus: Jan Wagner, „ACHTZEHN PASTETEN“, Berlin Verlag, Berlin 2007) Unterrichtsmaterialien Januar 2014, „Krieg und Frieden“ Der Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges jährt sich 2014 zum hundertsten Mal. Anlässlich dieses Ereignisses wurde das Leitmotiv „Krieg und Frieden“ ausgewählt. Seitdem es die Menschheit gibt, werden Kriege geführt. Ursachen mögen verschieden sein, Auswirkungen sind ähnlich. Ein Krieg zerstört und vernichtet Städte, Landstriche, Menschenleben, und hat auch enorme Auswirkungen auf gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Traditionen. Der Erste Weltkrieg gilt als „Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts“. Auch das Schicksal der modernen Kunst ist eng damit verbunden. Die prägenden Jahre von 1914 bis 1918 waren Endpunkt und Neubeginn zugleich.
