Modern Poetry in Translation is launching its autumn issue War of the Beasts and the Animals at Queen's with readings by Maria Stepanova, the Russian poet and activist whose work tackles the current war in Ukraine, and her translator (and editor of MPT) Sasha Dugdale; and by David Constantine, poet, scholar, prize-winning short story writer, who will be reading from his new translations of Hölderlin and talking about them with Charlie Louth.

All are welcome; there will be drinks afterwards.
