Inflection Points

As we emerge from this time of crisis, how might the field of literary translation chart new trajectories and imagine new narratives of possibility? In this digital exhibit presented in collaboration with the American Literary Translators Association, four translators of poetry—Kareem James Abu-Zeid (Arabic, French, German), Alex Braslavsky (Polish, Russian), Jein Han (Korean), and Farid Matuk (Spanish)— explore how poems can prompt shifts in perception when “retold” in another language, as seen in poetry in translation pulled from the Poetry Center’s library and archival collections.
