Here And Beyond
The chapters included in this volume examine a number of modern and contemporary travel and mobility narratives produced in the different languages of Iberia, whether they offer accounts of Iberia itself or portray other geographical or human contexts. Illustrating the diversity of forms characteristic of travel writing, the texts discussed in the book feature representations of travel and mobility as presented in novels, films and other literary and cultural manifestations such as comics, plays and journalistic chronicles. Additionally, the volume incorporates a section of creative responses to the tropes of travel and mobility by contemporary Iberian authors in English translation. Thus, t...
Jewels in the Mud
Small Stations Press is extraordinarily privileged to publish a selection of Cork-based Galician poet Martín Veiga's poetry from the last thirty years in a bilingual Galician-English edition, Alfaias na lama: Poesía selecta 1990-2020 / Jewels in the Mud: Selected Poems 1990-2020.

Translation Studies and Ecology
This innovative collection explores the points of contact between translation practice and ecological culture by focusing on the relationship between ecology and translation.

Done Into English
Contains translations of more than sixty poets from over a dozen languages and/or dialects; these include Italian, Dutch, Milanese, and Irish. Anonymous folksongs and amorous lyrics by 13th and 14th century troubadours introduce Pearse Hutchinson's personal anthology, of which he says: "Every poem in this book has been translated because I liked it." "Done Into English reflects a particular interest in the languages of Spain and Portugal, with ample selections from Celso Emelio Ferreiro, Pere Quart, and Salvador Espriu. His much admired 'Friends Songs' are featured, as are his versions of Josep Carner, which have been highly praised in Catalonia. The wide-ranging introduction describes some of the complexities and crudities of language-politics and chronicles meetings with poets and a lifetime's work.
Rerouting Galician Studies
This book—aimed at both the general reader and the specialist—offers a transatlantic, transnational, and multidisciplinary cartography of the rapidly expanding intellectual field of Galician Studies. In the twenty-one essays that comprise the volume, leading scholars based in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand engage with this field from the perspectives of queer theory, Atlantic and diasporic thought, political ecology, hydropoetics, theories of space, trauma and memory studies, exile, national/postnational approaches, linguistic ideologies, ethnographic poetry and photography, Galician language in the US academic curriculum, the politics of children’s books, film and visual studies, the interrelation of painting and literature, and material culture. Structured around five organizational categories (Frames, Routes, Readings, Teachings, and Visualities), and adopting a pluricentric view of Galicia as an analytical subject of study, the book brings cutting-edge debates in Galician Studies to a broad international readership.
