Poems from Holland and Belgium
Stevens is an ideal translator for all who are gathered here. His forthright natural method (which shines in his own poetry) matches the quality of Dutch syntax, and he is able to move comfortably through the spaces of Dutch experience. There have been earlier attempts, but this is the best so far.
Small Press Review

Poems from Holland and Belgium
This book is fascinating for the range of poets that it represents as well as for the amount of control the translator clearly has over his materials. Good translations such as these will endure.
