The Poetry Trust celebrates the art of poetry translation
Every year poets in translation are a key element of the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival and a necessary reminder that not all poetry starts off in English!
Listen at The Poetry
Channel to Jamie McKendrick discuss translating pre-eminent Italian poet Valerio Magrelli and Sasha Dugdale discussing translating Elena Shvarts back in 2009. In this interview Dugdale reflects on how Shvarts’s extraordinarily eccentric view of the world influenced her own poetry. Visit our website for information about the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival..
