Special Topics: Poets in Translation
ENGL 372
Fall 2024
| Section:
01
|
In this craft seminar, students will perform close readings of translations of some of the most influential poets of the 20th century, always with an eye toward "stealing" techniques that may enhance our own work. Some of the poets under consideration include Anna Akhmatova, Aime Cesaire, Federico Garcia Lorca, Rainer Maria Rilke, Czeslaw Milosz, and Adelia Prado, among others. Students are invited to think critically about the challenges and opportunities presented by the act of translation as well as the imperative of engaging with world literatures. |
