The art of translation meets its ultimate challenge in poetry translation, where not only the meaning, but the rhythm and the music of the words are important.
Each session we take a poem in a foreign tongue and examine it side by side with a number of different translations, discussing what works, what doesn't, and how we would make certain choices.
Previous Sessions:
1. French - Apollinaire "Sous le pont Mirabeau" (Philip Nikolayev translation)
2. Spanish - Antonio Machado "Caminante, no hay camino" (Mary Berg translation)
