NYT reviews Motherfield: Poems & Belarusian Protest Diary by Julia Cimafiejeva, trans. by Hanif Abdurraqib and Valzhyna Mort (Phoneme): “A dual-language publication, Motherfield reads like a testament to the innate multilingualism of Belarus. And after all, what Belarusians say matters just as much as what language they say it in.” And, Scatterlings by Resoketswe Martha Manenzhe (HarperVia): "Manenzhe’s words are full of a wild, roaming intelligence that drifts into both intense philosophical exploration and acknowledgments of the unknowable."
