The 2nd issue of LEWerger Magazine has been released.

LEWerger is a unique poetry translation magazine. The first issue was released on September 1, 2022.

LEWerger's social accounts announced: "LEWerger has come out with its 2nd issue and strong content!"  
  
The editorial board of LEWerger consists of 3 people. It publishes translations in 3 Kurdish dialects, Kurmanji, Zazaki, and Sorani.

There are 7 editors in the 1st issue and 8 editors in the 2nd issue.

  
Yeqin H., who is one of the editors and a member of the editorial board of LEWerger, told Botan Times about the magazine, "Readers of our magazine showed an interest in it. This made us feel that we are doing a good and different job. We prepared the second issue with even stronger motivation and with this happiness."

**"The translator sees the poem as part of itself"**

Yeqin stated, "We can say that people who work in the field of literature, such as translators, writers, intellectuals and of course intelligent Kurdish readers, have given ownership and a good reception to the magazine."

He explained, when a translator chooses a poem to translate, s/he sees that poem as his/her own, recognizes it, feels it, and translates it as a part of his/her story of love for poetry.

" **Poetry is not sort of food and the translator is not the person who..."**

  
Yeqin H. states that we don't ask the translator to translate this poem and said, "We don't give orders and we don't say so-and-so, can you please translate this poem for us? Poetry is a living thing and it needs to be loved. The translator himself/herself pursues it, finds it, reads it, gets inside it, and loves it. Poetry is not a sort of food; the translator is not the person to give a spoon and say, you should eat like this. There is an intense connection between translator and translation."

LEWerger has translated poems from 12 languages ​​so far.
