Elizabeth Macklin
Txomin Saez
Elizabeth Macklin is the author of two poetry collections, You’ve Just Been Told and A Woman Kneeling in the Big City.

In 1999, an Amy Lowell Poetry Travelling Scholarship allowed her to begin studying the Basque language. Her translations from the Basque of Kirmen Uribe and Bernardo Atxaga have appeared in The New Yorker, Circumference, Fence, and Open City. In 2005 she won a PEN Translation Fund grant for her translation of Kirmen Uribe's Meanwhile Take My Hand.

She is currently at work on poems for a third collection, and makes her living as a freelance editor in New York City.
