In this experiment, the two teachers in the Department of English and German Studies propose their version of a chosen poem by Ernest Farrés inspired by Edward Hopper's paintings. Then they reflect on their choices and compare them to Venuti's prize-winning translation.
The exercise looks into the difficulties of translating poetry and highlights how different readings and different outcomes are always possible, but some are better than others.
The playlist includes comments on:
- Stairway (1949)
- Ernest Farrés reading his own poems (2001)
- Small town station (1918-20)
- Shakespeare at dusk (1935)
