PhD student Andrew Houwen’s article, ‘Ezra Pound’s Early Cantos and His Translation of Takasago‘, has been nominated for the Ezra Pound Society Article Prize for 2014 along with three other contenders. It was published in the Review of English Studies in August 2014. The winner will be announced at the American Literature Association Conference in Boston next month.
In other news, Andrew’s translations of the Dutch poet Esther Jansma, who read them with him at the 2013 Reading Poetry Festival, have been published simultaneously in Modern Poetry in Translation and in Shearsman.
