Our businesses and our lives revolve around language. Poetry brings our beautiful words into a single space filled with expression and imagery. What could be better than taking a beautiful poem and bringing it to others in their own language? As part of the 2023 conference, we are offering a literary translation course and we want to use the below poem to let our participants strut their stuff by translating and sharing their work.
Many thanks to former Oregon Poet Laureate Kim Stafford for granting translators from around the world the opportunity to translate his poem into diverse languages for publication on the Oregon Society of Translators and Interpreters conference webpage. Now it is your turn. Hello us take this poem around the world by adding your personal translation in the forum below. This is a place for us to explore the beauty inside all of our words and to exemplify this year's conference theme, "Words Around the World"! Thanks for helping us put something special out into the world. Listen to the Voices American English read by Kim Stafford Music Performance (English) composed by Joan Szymko | Kim Stafford
