new poetry in translation

in other tongues

In recent years, I have had the privilege of having my efforts translated in various languages. It in tribute to these ardent readers and linguists that I will over the next few days reproduce their labours.

il tempo e` essenziale
(commissionata dall'Arts Council of England per ' Waiting Rooms ')


il tempo e` essenziale


la speranza e` frutto della pazienza,


difficile venire a un compromesso


ma e` facile pensarlo


allora a che scopo affrettarsi tanto?

Roi Kwabena

(Italian)
