Review of Two Worlds
French and American Poetry in Translation
Description:... "The conference documented by the present volume grew out of the research and writing of Guy Bennett and Beatrice Mousli's Chartine the Here of There: French & American Poetry in Translation in Literary Magazines, 1850-2002, a book which chronicles the on-going history of Franco-American literary exchanges. One of the untold stories of that history is that the poets themselves are chiefly responsible for it, often editing, translating, and publishing themselves are chiefly responsible for it, often editing, translating, and publishing the poetry of their French or American colleagues in journals to which they either contribute or edit themselves. This being the case, we thought it would be enlightening to bring together a number of poets and translators currently involved in this exchange and ask them to share their views on the subject, discuss their practice, and read their work."--Publisher's website.
