Participants will work together in pairs and in groups on translating a selection of modern German poetry. Using examples from these poems, participants will be introduced to some of the key issues around literary translation and especially translation of poetry. Participants will experiment with translating into different styles, genres and registers, and there will be book prizes for the most inventive and impressive contributions. This challenging, informative and fun workshop will be led by Prof. Karen Leeder, the prize-winning translator of contemporary poets such as Evelyn Schlag, Michael Krüger, Durs Grünbein and Volker Braun! Participants should have at least AS level German and be aged 17 or over. School-age participants are particularly encouraged. Places are limited and so booking is essential.
This event will run from 2pm-4pm.
