Founded in 1975 by Evalyn Pierpoint Gill and dedicated to her belief that the world will be a better place if we cross language barriers to hear the voice of the poet in different countries, International Poetry Review publishes poems from contemporary writers in all languages, with facing English translations. A portion of every issue is dedicated also to work originally in English. This issue is multicultural and features several exceptionally fine translations of Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus.
