Blue Flare: Three Haitian Poets translated from Kreyòl and French by Danielle Legros Georges

Translator and poet Danielle Legros Georges translated the work of three remarkable women poets: Évelyne Trouillot, Marie-Célie Agnant, and Maggy de Coster. Each poet’s distinctive, urgent voice brings clarity to places and realities whose challenges our Western media often oversimplifies, misunderstands, and all too often simply forgets once the news cycle moves on.
