Ep. 6 - Translation Competition

In this very special episode we share the results of our very own translation competition! Thanks to funding from the University of St Andrews School of Modern Languages, we were able to focus on the work of three non-anglophone poets working in the world today, and challenge anyone in the world to translate their poems into English. In this episode, you’ll hear the winning translations, as well as an interview with all three poets about working as a non-anglophone poet, about translation, and about how the pandemic affected their work. We have so many people to thank for this episode, which this little list can hardly do justice: Poets: Chloé Savoie-Bernard, Xenia Dyakonova, Jairo Martín de la Fuente Translators: Daniel Clark, Lou Sarabadzic, Huw Davies Readers: Tahra Sebti, Isabella Redmayne, Zoë Morrison-Griffiths, Claire Borradaile, Melodie Lewis, Axel Kacoutié, Coggin Galbreath, Caitlin Morris, Maddie Lee, Phoebe Mazzier, Rory McGuirk, Charlotte Bae, Reece Anderson, Una McGeough, Don Cellini, Lisa Ireland, Maria Goikhberg Graphics: Joanna Joannou Sound Design: Kyra Ho Original Music: Maxence Fulconis and everyone who participated.
