Gosh, Pierre... *Of course* they count. In fact, in my book, a
collection of translations counts more than a collection of "original"
poetry! Poetry is merely the shadow of translation, really, though
convention has it the other way around.
And Poems for the Millennium counts for, say, ten books of original
poetry...
