The review presents Sa druge strane pesme. Antologija poljskih jidiš pesnikinja [On the Other Side of the Poem: An Anthology of Polish Yiddish Women Poets], selected and translated by Biserka Rajčić, published by Presing in Mladenovac in 2024. The review analyzes how the translation of Yiddish poetry into Serbian, through Polish translations, affects the transmission of linguistic nuances and cultural context. The text highlights the distance of the Serbian translations from the original texts and the resulting shifts in meaning, while also emphasizing the anthology’s potential to inspire broader engagement with Yiddish literature and women’s poetic voices within the (post)Yugoslav cultural sphere.
