Robyn Creswell’s English version of Iman Mersal’s The Threshold is a finalist for the Griffin Poetry Prize. The Threshold was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in October and has received many enthusiastic reviews. From the Judges citation: “The Threshold by Iman Mersal is a powerful collection of poetry that dissects the fluid architecture of identity, hidden memory, and language…Translated beautifully by Robyn Creswell, [the poems] are deeply personal, reflecting the loss of [Mersal’s] father, and her struggles with displacement and belonging, as she navigates different cultures and languages.” For more information, click here.
