VERSschmuggel Scotland-Germany I
With Anna Crowe Scotland/UK – Odile Kennel Germany Peter Mackay Scotland/UK – Dagmara Kraus Poland/Germany Ryan Van Winkle USA – Björn Kuhligk Germany. Moderation Aurélie Maurin editor, translator, Berlin.
The poesiefestival berlin invited some of Scotland’s most outstanding poets to meet up with German-speaking colleagues for the VERSschmuggel translation workshop.
The poets work in pairs on the translation, supported by intermediaries and interlinear translations. Through this process, an intensive smuggling of cultural connotations, poetic traditions, and compositional processes develops. The results of the workshops will be presented on two evenings. They also appear as a bilingual anthology with a CD in Scotland (with Freight Books) and in Germany (with the publishing house Das Wunderhorn). Part two of VERSschmuggel takes place on Wed 11.6.
