Likewise, the issue includes veteran translators Marilyn Booth, Nancy Roberts, and Khaled Mattawa alongside newcomers, several of them graduate students at the University of Michigan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach piece is accompanied by a translator's reflection that meditates on the work's themes as well as the creative process of translation, and the issue's poetry is presented in a side-by-side Arabic-English format. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbsinthe 28 comes to us at a time when, according to the UN, one in every 78 people on earth is displaced.
