From the publisher:

Collecting the poetry and fiction of more than thirty of today's best international writers, Wherever I Lie is Your Bed draws a literary map of transposed landscapes and vulnerable borders, where each poem or story bears its author's uniquely inscribed sense of place. With a special section on Palestinian poetry edited by Marilyn Hacker, Wherever I Lie is Your Bed features: Breon Mitchell's new translation of Nobel Laureate Gunter Grass's "The Tin Drum;" Fady Joudah's award-winning translations of late Palestinian national poet Mahmoud Darwish; Esther Allen's translation of "Rex," the final volume in Cuban novelist Jose Manuel Prieto's Russian triology; and Khaled Mattawa's newest translations of revered Syrian poet Adonis.
