Pride Poetry Workshop: Poetry in Translation, led by Saundra Rose Maley

Pride Poetry Workshop: Poetry in Translation

Participants will look at ghazals by Urdu master poet Ghalib, translated by a range of American poets into English. We will discuss how and why translations vary, and how reading poems in translation can affect our own poetry. Participants will then write their own poems inspired by Ghalib. Led by Saundra Rose Maley, co-editor of James Wright’s Selected Letters and two books on Wright and translation, and co-founder of Confluence, the only annual conference in the DC area dedicated to the art of literary translation.
