His translators, Adam J. Sorkin and Lidia Vianu, are well respected, however, for their Popescu Prize winning versions of Marin Sorescu's The Bridge (Bloodaxe, 2004). Sorkin frequently works in pairs, often with the poets themselves. For Liliana Ursu's The Sky Behind the Forest (Bloodaxe, 1997) he worked together with Ursu and with Tess Gallagher. He's a prolific translator and one of Romanian poetry's chief proselytizers in English.
