Hey, I was browsing in a book store and came upon an anthology of New European Poets; so I picked it up, went to the German section, found Gräf's name and, sure enough, you as translator. WTG!
Did you buy the book? I have not read it yet, but it looks pretty impressive!
No actually. My complaint was it tried to be too comprehensive. Anthologizing one or at most 4 poems by a poet can't count as an "introduction" to that poet (so they were aiming at introductions to "national litertures," it seems). I would've preferred fewer countries and more poems per poet. But as an all-inclusive compendium of current European states, it's pretty impressive, certainly.
