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 more, visit the N.E.A.’s “Meet the Translation Fellows” page for a brief overview and an excerpt from both my translation and the original French.
Readers with access to Project Muse may access an extended translation excerpt (200 lines), along with the accompanying essay, here. The Hopkins Review 10.2 (2017): 168-172.
