Popescu Prize shortlist announced [world]:
The prize is named after Corneliu M Popescu who translated the work of one of Romania's leading poets, Mihai Eminescu, into English. On 4 March 1977, at the age of 19, Popescu was tragically killed in an earthquake.
The prize, which was first launched in 2003, is awarded every two years.
When asked about the importance of the Prize, Born and Jones both point out that this award is unique in that it is the only poetry-specialised translation prize, and that it gives poetry enthusiasts the opportunity to discover, appreciate and enjoy exciting poetry from countries whose writers are not so widely read.
