Section Information for Spring 2017
This 619: Writing After Reading in Translation will ask you to read a wide variety of poetries in translation. We will begin an introduction to the art of translation, then turn to an anthology of twentieth-century European and South American writers, and finally slow down to look more closely at the Polish poet Anna Swir and the Cuban poet Dulce Maria Loynaz. Each week we will respond to the reading with our own poems. Maybe we’ll even be able to think again and freshly about what poems can do and how and why they bother to do so. Students will take turns writing prompts and presenting poems for critique, and everyone will write a poem every week. This course is meant to expose you to poets you might not have read before and to be generative of lots of new drafts.
