Linguists estimate that the world will lose around half of its 7,000 languages by the end of the century. This diverse and evocative anthology celebrates the poetry written in 50 of the most vulnerable, from northern Japan’s Ainu and Alaska’s indigenous Ahtna to Zoque, one of Mexico’s many languages. Each poem is printed with an English translation and a commentary introducing its poet, language and cultural context.
