David Keplinger: David Keplinger is the author of three books of poetry, most recently The Prayers of Others, which won the 2006 Colorado Book Award. He is the recipient of the T.S. Eliot Prize, a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, and grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Danish Arts Council.

Like a good magician, Nielsen builds credibility with the reader by focusing on the mundane. Keplinger's translations preserve the seemingly simple poems' cadence, and readers will appreciate seeing the original Dutch on facing pages. -- Katherine Frank Booklist, November 15, 2011
