Circumference: Poetry in Translation (via Open Brackets):
Here, from the first issue, is a poem in Sanskrit (and in English).
By the way, that bit about "under the radar"of US readers -- what did people say before there was radar to fall under?
Circumference is devoted to presenting translations of new work being written around the globe, new visions of classical poems, and translations of foreign language poets of the past who have fallen under the radar of American readers.
We are especially excited to show translation as the vibrant, necessary interaction that it is.

During the mid-20th century, however, a large number of British and American men served in the military. And consequently military slang entered the language like never before. Blockbuster, nose dive, camouflage, radar, roadblock, spearhead, and landing strip are all military terms that made their way into standard English.
