In this most recent volume of "MPT," Weissbort explores the changed landscape of the past thirty years, including interviews with writers of succeeding generations and a few survivors from the Herbert generation. Other features of "Looking Eastward "include a broad selection of MPT cofounder Ted Hughes' unpublished translations from various languages and time periods, and a selection of work from student translators. Features Summary Poetry from Eastern Europe, the Subcontinent, China, and Hughes.
