"A book the many fans of Heaney's Beowulf might take home and dip into, almost at random, for years." ― Publishers Weekly Featuring 123 all-new translations by seventy-four of our most celebrated poets―including Seamus Heaney, Robert Pinsky, Billy Collins, Eavan Boland, Richard Wilbur, and many others―“this brilliant anthology infuses new vigor into Old English poetry” ( Library Journal). Presented in an authoritative bilingual edition, The Word Exchange is as fascinating and multivocal as the original literature it translates.
