Announcement of 2017 National Endowment for the Arts Literature in Translation Fellowships here. The grant helped fund retranslation from the French of the 512-line poem “The Young Fate [La Jeune Parque]” by French poet Paul Valéry.
For a generous excerpt (200 lines), along with the accompanying essay (from The Hopkins Review 10.2), click here.
A shorter overview and selection (both translation and the original French) appears at the N.E.A.’s “Meet the Translation Fellows” page.
