Literary translator virtually visits translation class
Even in quarantine, translation students are engaging first-hand with experts in the field. French Translator Kristen Miller visited Prof. Kripper’s Intro to Translation Studies course via Zoom to discuss her new translation SPAWN, by Marie-Andrée Gill. SPAWN is a braided collection of brief, untitled poems, a coming-of-age lyric set in the Mashteuiatsh Reserve on the shores of Lake Piekuakami (Saint-Jean) in Quebec. Kristen discussed her translation process and students had the chance to ask her questions about the art of literary translation.
