We’ve been sitting on this for a while, but we can finally reveal that Kulleh Grasi’s Tell Me, Kenyalang, translated by Pauline Fan, has been longlisted for the American Literary Translators Association’s National Translation Award in Poetry! There’s going to be a livecast of the award ceremony on October 15th which you can register for here. Congratulations to judges Ilya Kaminsky, Lisa Katz, and Farid Matuk for having such good taste! Congratulations to the author for having written such a book! And congratulations to Pauline for her translation! We hope that it wins.

Update: TMK is now on the shortlist! Looks like it’s going to be a 5 a.m. Zoom for some of us.
