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.
