=== English translations ===
''Aniara'' was translated into English as ''Aniara, A Review of Man in Time and Space'' by [[Hugh MacDiarmid]] and E. Harley Schubert in 1963.<ref name="nybooks" /> It was translated again into English by Stephen Klass and Leif Sjöberg for a 1999 edition. Neither edition is {{As of|2020|alt=currently}} in print.<ref name="nybooks" />

[[Geoffrey O'Brien]], writing for the [[New York Review of Books]], compares the two editions and finds the recent Klass Sjöberg edition more faithful to "Martinson's formal schemes" while considering the MacDiarmid Schubert edition "more persuasive" as English poetry.<ref name="nybooks">{{Cite magazine |last=O'Brien |first=Geoffrey |title=There's No Place Like Home |magazine=New York Review of Books |url=https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2019/08/15/aniara-no-place-like-home/}}</ref> [[Burns Singer]] wrote of the original translation "it may well prove a seminal volume in the history of English letters" in [[Times Literary Supplement]].{{refn|group=nb|His business as a poet does not include the development of new principles of cosmology or the invention of thought systems but is rather concerned with details which will make credible whatever cosmology or thought systems he adopts. (...) (T)here are passages in which his conception justifies itself and the words radiate a kind of austere but delicate simplicity. (...) (I)t was a bold move to translate this work and it may well prove a seminal volume in the history of English letters." - Burns Singer, Times Literary Supplement<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.complete-review.com/reviews/sverige/martinsonh.htm | title=Aniara - Harry Martinson }}</ref>}}
