Social distancing has frustrated our human need for sociability, contact, and interaction, but has also gifted some of us with time for introspection. Our peer reviewers and members of the editorial team selected submissions that reflect a vast diversity of experiences, voices, and tones. The poems and translations cover issues such as the passage of time, the fragility of life, nature, the choices we confront and the ones that elude us, and the need for social justice and recognition. Against the backdrop of the transformative events of 2020-2021, this issue underscores the role poetry plays in building communities. By structuring IPR around the core principles of empathy, solidarity, inclusion and accessibility, our goal is to become intentional about the capacity of language to enact change. The editorial committee hopes that the poems included here make poetry accessible, move readers to play with words, and inspire them to become writers and translators themselves.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50377969828113,"sku":"CIN1469668572G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53480832434449,"sku":"NIN9781469668574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1469668572.jpg?v=1763484039"},{"product_id":"international-poetry-review-book-ana-hontanilla-9781469677330","title":"International Poetry Review","description":"Since 1973, through the art of translation and the visible relationship between the original and English-language versions, each issue of the International Poetry Review has been a form of transit. This vehicle carries the creativity of people speaking various languages into English to build understanding, develop familiarity, and create meaningful inclusiveness. Many of the poems in the International Poetry Review Volume 46, 2023, exhibit the leitmotif of metamorphosis, flux, the rift between social classes, or a bridge between spiritual states of being.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50630834848017,"sku":"NGR9781469677330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028024459537,"sku":"NIN9781469677330","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1469677334.jpg?v=1763481871"},{"product_id":"international-poetry-review-book-ana-hontanilla-9781469677347","title":"International Poetry Review","description":"This issue centers on the role of poetry as a form of protest in Middle Eastern and North African traditions. It opens with the Tunisian poet Abul Qassem Al-Shabbi's \"The Will of Life,\" which became the official anthem of Tunisian protestors during the Tunisian Revolution. Two verses from this poem speak to this volume: \"If one day people will to live \/ then fate has no choice but to comply.\" We feature canonical Mashreqi voices, such as Palestine's Ibrahim Touqan, Syria's Adonis, and Iraq's Nazik Al-Mala'ika, along with emerging poets who write in Arabic. From the Maghreb, poets such as Ahmed Bounani, Hocine Tandjaoui, and Tahar Bekri expressed their revolutionary desires and reflections in French. Emerging artists are featured in the Arabic and French sections, but the reader will find that the English section also highlights and centers on the revolutionary angst of the youth. The Editor has taken several creative liberties for inclusion and representation; artists may reside in the Arab world or the diaspora, but all the works are politically inclined regardless of the magnetizing pulls of their linguistic registers, geographic locales, or cultural influences. The number of artists across generations, languages, and revolutionary movements in the last two centuries reminds us that there is great beauty in times of tragedy.  At the time of the publication of issue number 47.2024, conflict had broken out between Israel and Palestine. We at the International Poetry Review believe literature is a tool for hope and a source of healing. This issue offered a unique platform for our contributors to humanize resistance while standing in favor of bread, freedom, and justice. Poets wrote about violence's devastating consequences, exposing its causes, and promoting peace, tolerance, and respect. This issue provided a safe space for reflection and transformation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51605005926673,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51605006123281,"sku":"NIN9781469677347","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1469677342.jpg?v=1757416412"},{"product_id":"international-poetry-review-book-ana-hontanilla-9781469691992","title":"International Poetry Review","description":"The exploration of loss, renewal, and self-discovery in these works invites readers to recognize echoes of their own journeys, fostering a profound connection between poet and audience. This issue becomes a mirror, reflecting not just individual experiences but the shared emotions, struggles, aspirations, and existential questions that define the human experience.     The shattered mirror on the cover encapsulates the themes explored within these pages. Each shard, reflecting a different scene, symbolizes the fragmented nature of perception and the multiplicity of truths that coexist within any experience. Blooming flowers evoke renewal and beauty, while the empty urban street suggests isolation and alienation. An ethereal glow hints at transcendence, reminding us of poetry's elusive and transformative power. Though fractured, these shards come together to form a cohesive whole—much like the poems in this issue. Each piece contributes to a larger narrative of human fragility and resilience, inviting us to embrace life's tensions and dualities with courage and grace.     In this issue, readers will find two special dossiers. The first is an in-memoriam tribute to Mark Smith-Soto, honoring his legacy and lasting impact on the literary community. Smith-Soto served as editor of International Poetry Review from 1992 to 2004, but even after stepping down, he remained a guiding presence, offering support, insights, and encouragement until his passing in 2023. His dedication to poetry and his unwavering commitment to this publication continue to inspire. The second dossier features a selection of poems by Francesco Fazio, whose work resonates deeply with the themes explored in this issue. We hope these poems inspire you to pause, reflect, and rediscover the connections between your inner world and the rhythms that bind us all.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52750294810897,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52750295269649,"sku":"NIN9781469691992","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781469691992.jpg?v=1763552527"},{"product_id":"international-poetry-review-book-ana-hontanilla-9781469672168","title":"International Poetry Review","description":"Although International Poetry Review (IPR) reserves space for works originally written in English, it emphasizes the English translation of works written in another language. The successes and failures of any translation arise from the complex relationship between author and translator, including their respective languages and cultures. Translations can even be thought of as rewrites, given that translators follow the seismic traces of an author's thought processes in the original text, then recreate them for a new audience. Translations recreate these moments in a new light for a new audience. The reader's relationship with the translator, then, depends upon trust. This issue of IPR is dedicated to translators, whose work provides this journal with its distinctive mark.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52778191028497,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52778191126801,"sku":"NIN9781469672168","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781469672168.jpg?v=1763923527"},{"product_id":"international-poetry-review-volume-49-2026-book-ana-hontanilla-9781469698908","title":"International Poetry Review, Volume 49, 2026","description":"The poems gathered in this issue of International Poetry Review confront a struggle over meaning: who assigns it and what meaning is imposed on experience. These diverse voices speak of memory, loss, and endurance, insisting on the right to speak plainly when language proves unstable or inadequate. They evoke the fleeting textures of childhood, the rituals of daily life, the scars of survival, and the quiet persistence of labor, grief, and love. What unites them is not a single message but a shared refusal to simplify experience. At a moment when language is often used to obscure rather than reveal, these poems preserve the fragile act of attention, reminding us that to listen closely and to name what is lived remains a profound form of care.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53238757097745,"sku":"NGR9781469698908","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53335599874321,"sku":"NIN9781469698908","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781469698908.jpg?v=1774000532"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-ana-hontanilla.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
