Durable Goods Issue 30

Translation: Brazil

Featured Writers:

Annie Menebroker

Beto Palaio

This is the second issue that features a translation of work into another language.  The language of Brazil is Portuguese and this issue has a special place in my heart as the very first poem I ever had published in another language was in Portuguese.  It was how I met Beto Palaio and how I struck up a curious friendship that in many ways, saved my life.

This issue features the marvelous work of Annie Menebroker who is not only an amazing female writer, but a humble one as well.  In the beginning I was unsure she would be willing to donate her work and I was beyond thrilled that she did.  Her poem is a touching remembrance that speaks volumes in English and glides along in Portuguese.

Beto Palaio is a wonderful man and a writer who is always trying to push the boundaries of his own work.  He works tirelessly at learning English and brings a special enthusiasm to the table.  He loves art and beauty and words and it is my pleasure to also feature two of his poems in this issue.

This is also a limited run of 100.

Durable Goods Issue 29

Translation: France

Featured Writers:

James H. Duncan

Nadine Sellers

This issue marks a new milestone for Durable Goods as it is a double issue.  The production for this was extensive, but well worth it.  I wanted to feature a longer piece of work by a writer and give that writer the joy of having their work translated into another language.  I am so very lucky to know bilingual writers who are willing to donate their talents to make this project happen.  As a thank you for their skills, I also featured their work in both English and their native language.

Issue 29 features a brillant and tortured poem from James H. Duncan that reads as well in French as it does in English.  Nadine Sellers is a writer and musician originally from France and has been featured in Durable Goods in the very beginning of this adventure and it is my honor to be able to share more of her work with you.  The photographs featured in this issue are also from Nadine Sellers.

I hope you enjoy this issue if you are able to find one.  There was a limited printing of 100.
