Edmund Keeley Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Collection includes conversations with Willard Trask, John Hollander, Herbert Mason, Ben Belitt, Richard Wilbur, Robert Fitzgerald, Max Hayward, Edmund Keeley, Octavio Paz, Michael Hamberger, Christopher Middleton. Twelve distinguished translators share their thoughts on the art and practice of literary translation in this lively series of interviews. Although the common subject is the translation of poetry, the conversations range across a field of related topics: how each person got started as a translator, how each goes about the work, the qualities that distinguish a great translation from a merely serviceable one, the theoretic issues posed by poetic translation, the barriers of culture and time, the practical details of rendering a poem from one language to the next. --University of Massachusetts Press.

"Odysseus Elytis is a pure and dedicated poet, whose work is abundant, original, and thrilling", wrote Peter Levi when Elytis (1911-96) was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1979. This is a representative selection of his poems, drawn from all periods of his distinguished career, tracing his development from early surrealism, through the dramatic style of The Axion Esti with its blend of spirituality and earthiness, up to his later work.
