Pat Metheny has won 20 Grammy Awards, predominantly for his work as a jazz guitarist, but also for Best Rock Instrumental Performance, and Best Instrumental Composition. His latest work is as a composer. The album Road to the Sun has two major works for classical guitar. Four Paths of Light is a four movement suite for a solo instrument, played by Jason Vieaux, and Road to the Sun, a piece in six parts, performed by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. Metheny himself plays his arrangement of Arvo P\xe4rt's piano piece F\xfcr Alina, on an extraordinary 42 string instrument. Pat Metheny tells John Wilson about this ambitious work.

And Poet Amanda Gorman became famous around the world when she read her poem \u201cThe Hill We Climb\u201d at Biden\u2019s Inauguration, and now her work is due to be translated into multiple languages.

Activist Janice Deul explains why she was so disappointed with the publisher\u2019s original choice, and writer and translator Khairani Barokka describes the complicated relationship between writers and translators.
