Poetic Obituaries: Anne Born, who has died aged 87,

was the author of a dozen local histories of her adoptive home county of Devon; a score of poetry collections and contributions to contemporary anthologies; and some 50 translations of modern Scandinavian novels and poetry collections. She was also a tireless campaigner on behalf of literary translators, working with the Society of Authors (through its translators' association) and serving on the translation advisory panel of Arts Council, England (until its abolition in 2006).
