2022 Taiwanese Poetry TranslationThe winners of the 2022 Taiwanese Poetry Translation competition will join us for a discussion about their work. Last summer, we held a translation competition for the poem 掠百年的埕過 [Through Centenary Square] by award-winning Taiwanese poet, Tēnn Sūn-tshong (鄭順聰). Translators were asked to render the poem from Taiwanese into English. A panel of judges, including poets, literary translators and language experts, assessed the submissions, and picked the three leading translations. At this event, the three leading translators will discuss their approaches to translating the poem. We will start with a reading of the poem in Taiwanese by the poet. Members of the audience will be welcome to ask their own questions about the challenges and issues associated with translating this poem into English.This event will take place in English. All are welcome and admission is free. Booking essential. |
