✨Now in Vox Populi: Three Poems from Tadeusz Dabrowski.✨
Translated from the Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones.

We’re proud to share three extraordinary poems from The Scent of Man (Arrowsmith, 2025).

Dabrowski’s poems balance tenderness and metaphysical reach, their emotional clarity shining through the elegant English of Antonia Lloyd-Jones.

The poems remind us why translation matters, how words can cross not only languages, but lives.

We must share these powerful words from Oleksandra Matviichuk, co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and head of Ukraine’s Centre for Civil Liberties, delivered at the UA-MED Heal Ukraine 2025 Conference at Harvard University (November 7–8, 2025).

🎥 Watch the full video here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhnwpiZYRks]

The conference brought together physicians and medical professionals from the U.S., Canada, and Ukraine, uniting to discuss rebuilding Ukraine’s healthcare system amid war.

Oleksandra’s words remind us that defending human dignity is at the heart of both medicine and justice. Don’t miss this inspiring call for action and solidarity.

We’re honored to share that the Arrowsmith Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry was recently featured in Nina MacLaughlin's Substack of the New England Literary News.

The 2025 Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry, awarded annually by Arrowsmith Press to a book of poetry written by a non-U.S. citizen and published anywhere in the world, has been awarded to two outstanding poets:

🏆 Theresa Lola for Ceremony for the Nameless (Penguin)
🏆 Mary O’Malley for The Shark Nursery (Carcanet)

This year’s prize was judged by poet Ishion Hutchinson, who recognized both collections for their depth, lyricism, and vision.

We are happy to share that Jo-Ann Mort, author of 'A Precise Chaos' (Arrowsmith Press, 2025), is the featured poet on 'Brooklyn Poets' this week.

November 10–16, 2025.

A poet and journalist, Jo-Ann published her debut collection at age 69, bringing to her work a lifetime of sharp observation, political insight, and lyrical grace. Her featured poem, “Adornment,” reflects on memory, aging, and inheritance, a meditation that moves tenderly between Paris, Brooklyn, and the mirror.

“Everything Has Its Own Soul”
A review of Crimean Fig: Contemporary Crimean Tatar Poetry and Fiction by Liz Ziemska

> “My grandmother used to say that everything has its own soul: stone, grass, water, earth, wood, and air, and even the sun, the moon, planet Earth, and each star…”

In her luminous review, Liz Ziemska traces her own family’s wartime story, from evacuation to Uzbekistan, to the collective trauma and resilience of the Crimean Tatar people.

Through fiction and poetry translated from a language at risk of disappearing, Crimean Fig gives voice to a culture that has endured deportation, exile, and renewed displacement since the 18th century.

> “We can bear witness. We can read these stories and poems, translated from a language that is endangered, learn about a way of life that may be disappearing, once again.”

We’re delighted to share that The New Yorker has published a new poem by Carolyn Forché, titled “On Being Watched from Above.” Appearing in the November 10, 2025, print issue, the poem offers a haunting meditation on survival and invisibility in an age of constant surveillance.

Forché, author of Otherwhere: New and Selected Poems, 1976–2026, In the Lateness of the World, and What You Have Heard Is True: A Memoir of Witness and Resistance, continues to redefine the boundaries between poetry and testimony.
