All Alone

Karen Van Dyck’s translation of All Alone, a poem by Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke, has been published in World Literature Today.

“If you mix rainwater with tears

laughter with sun

tornado and the wind with rising indignation.

If you cry for the children, barefoot 

open-handed, whose approaching faces 

glow with late afternoon

you will find yourself all alone.”
