A superb workshop for anyone with an interest in bringing regional poetry to an international audience. This is a rare opportunity to work with one of the UK's most respected translation specialists. Translating prose is relatively easy - all that's required is the ability to convey the author's meaning. But poetry is far more demanding. You'll learn how to preserve the music of the original language and understand more of how culture and environment paint unique colours on the spoken word.
Numbers for the morning workshop are strictly limited to 25 tickets, so reserve your tickets today.
