Translating the Westron Wynde by David Martin
Translating the Westron Wynde by David Martin
Westron Wynde is a 16th-century song that has been adapted, distorted, or simplified into many derivative versions. In Translating the Westron Wynde, poet David Martin compiles and expands upon these derivations, adding new translations of the original lyrics in many different languages, ciphers, and systems of notation. The Blasted Tree has produced a limited edition of sixty 4.25” x 5.5” chapbooks printed in colour and bound into handmade paper covers in tobacco brown.
