Translation Sensation
Join poets Esa Aldegheri, Annie Rutherford, Peter Mackay and Nasim Rebecca Asl as together they attempt a live translation of At Eighty, the Edwin Morgan poem that our festival takes its name from.
About Translation Sensation
Translating poetry is as much a technical endeavour as it is an immersion into the feeling and context of the original work.
Working across Arabic, German, Gaelic and Persian, the panel will discuss the decisions they are making in their respective languages and throw it open to the audience to contribute alternative translations or put additional languages into the mix.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
