Online literary translation workshops

This term (Term 2, 2023) we will continue to wallow in the “untranslatable,” exploring the possibilities of “transcreation,” the Brazilian concrete poets and Guimarães Rosa.

This course is very hands-on and most of our class time is spent translating and discussing translations.

As previous participants know, the syllabus is flexible. I have a map of where we are going, but sometimes we meander, take detours or spend longer on certain things according to the interests of each group.

Homework is minimal and mostly just involves mulling things over from one week to the next.

Testimonials

Just a little note to say a HUGE thanks for this workshop! What a privilege to have been part of such a brilliant group - I came away from each session feeling invigorated and inspired.

Estou amando suas aulas. O jeito focado e relaxado. A porosidade. E com a cabeça a mil.

This class was transformational for me and could not have come at a better time, when I concretely am able to put so much of what we address in your class into practice in my literary translation projects. Thank you once again for being a phenomenal teacher.
