Learning Through Translation

Published: Aug. 29, 2018, 10:14 a.m.

Today we feature poems translated this past spring and summer by some of Marcela's translation seminar students at Bar-Ilan University. After studying and discussing various translation theories, and becoming familiar with different poetic traditions and styles, these graduate and undergraduate students chose a poet and translated their work.

The poems in this episode were translated by Aya Abu Riash,\xa0Yavni Bar-Yam, and\xa0Hiba Jiryis.
