DESCRIPTION:Three admired scholars and translators will converse about thei
 r translation work and translation in general. Moderated by Associate Prof
 essor Ernesto Quiñonez.\n\n"When we try to formulate what it means to tra
 nslate poetry\, we come closest to defining poetry itself. A translation o
 f a poem is simultaneously a poem and a text about understanding it – a 
 poem about a poem." Valzhyna Mort is Professor of the Practice in the Depa
 rtment of English at Cornell\, the author of two books of poetry\, and a t
 ranslator between English and several Slavic languages. She will discuss a
  text as a migrant and translating speechlessness.\n\nEdmundo Paz-Soldán 
 teaches Latin American Literature in the Romance Studies Department at Cor
 nell. He has written eleven novels and has been translated to eleven langu
 ages. His last novel in translation is Norte (U Chicago P). He will talk a
 bout the challenges of translating the novel Bodega Dreams\, by Ernesto Qu
 iñonez\, into Spanish\, focusing on the different registers of Spanish ne
 eded to make it work. \n\nFernando Toda is Professor of Translation at the
  University of Salamanca and previously taught History of the English Lang
 uage at the University of Seville\, in Spain. He has translated some twent
 y books\, mostly prose and some poetry. He will be addressing key issues i
 n professional literary translation\, with special reference to his render
 ing of particularly challenging parts of the novel Mailman\, by J. Robert 
 Lennon\, into Castilian Spanish.\n\nFree and open to the public\n\nLight r
 efreshments provided\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Department of Engli
 sh / Program in Creative Writing
