This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
A workshop in the writing of poetry using some of the techniques and strategies of translation. While students with at least a year of foreign language study will be encouraged to work directly from the original, no prior knowledge of a foreign language is required. Exercises will include the adaptation of a classical poem to a more contemporary idiom, work on new versions of previously translated poems, the alteration of a poem’s voice and imagery to affect its dramatic context, and the creation of original poems through imitation. Specific emphasis will be given to stylistic and tonal choices made in the translation process. Successful completion of the course will serve as a prerequisite for advanced workshops in poetry.
