This unique anthology centres around a poem by award-winning Cameroonian writer, Jean-Claude Awono - Le Poème de Yambacongo - and nineteen very distinct translations of that poem from across the globe. Inspired by 19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei by Eliot Weinberger, this collection highlights the diversity of Englishes in existence worldwide, with each translator rendering Awono's poem in their own form of English including Nigerian Pidgin, Jamaican Creole, Shetlandic, and "Sesotho-fied" English.
