Anna Moschovakis works with poetry and prose as a writer, editor, translator, publisher, teacher, and designer.

She has translated books by David Diop, Robert Bresson, Marcelle Sauvageot, Annie Ernaux, Albert Cossery, and others, and is currently working collaboratively with Mihret Kebede on English versions of Kebede’s Evolutionary Poems.
