Brockway Prize for Gregor Seferens
The Brockway Prize for poetry translators has been awarded to German translator Gregor Seferens. His work includes poems by Mustafa Stitou, Stefan Hertmans and Miriam Van hee. The jury was particularly impressed by his translation of the collection Een nieuw afscheid (A New Farewell) by Anna Enquist (‘Ein neuer Abschied’, Luchterhand, Munich 1999). After Francis R Jones, Seferens is the second winner of the prize, which was founded in 2005 to encourage the translation of Dutch poetry. The prize is 5000 euros.
