Workshop: A Collaborative Introduction to Translating Poetry

The Burner and Oxford Poetry Library This workshop will serve as an introduction to translating poetry and as a forum to discuss poetry in translation. The workshop will be facilitated by writers with experience in translating poetry, although the workshop will be by no means an attempt to transmit this experience. Instead, attendees and facilitators will attempt to answer together questions regarding the theory and practice of translation, while also collaboratively translating lines of poetry. Attendees are more than welcome to draw from this experience and submit to the From Apples to Oranges zine that will be launched at the reading.
