Spotlight Poet
Robert Bly
A poet and translator, Bly has done immeasurable work to popularize the poetry of Neruda, Vallejo, Tranströmer, and many more great poets. Through translation, Bly
says, "You feel yourself—because of the work you've done on the image—invaded by the image."
Spotlight Poem
On Translation
by Mónica de la Torre
Not to search for meaning, but to reedify a gesture, an intent. / As a translator, one grows attached to originals.
Spotlight Audio
LXI
by César Vallejo
translated by Clayton Eshleman
Spotlight Essay
An ABC of Translating Poetry
by Willis Barnstone
"A translation aspires to independence, yet even when apparently achieved, the dream is false. Original work is never independent, nor even wholly original."
