Translation Sensation

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.
