Last night in London, translator Katherine E. Young accepted the 2026 EBRD Literature Prize for Azerbaijani author Akram Aylisli’s “People and Trees: A Trilogy,” published by Plamen Press. Proud to have been part of the team that helped bring this amazing work to life for an international audience with my contribution of the cover design. Congrats to all! 🏆🙌

Three translated works from shortlist of ten chosen by independent jury
