Recasting Sappho: Poetry Translation Workshop
Recasting Sappho: Poetry Translation Workshop In-Person
Join us for a translation workshop in celebration of the exhibition Metamorphosis, led by poet and translator Heather Green (Asst. Prof., School of Art).
Participants will consider a poem, originally written by Sappho in ancient Greece, then translated into Latin, more than a thousand years later, by Catullus. After reading these poems and discussing their history of metamorphosis across languages and time, participants will create their own translations, whether speculative, visual, or through a contemporary literary lens.
Registration is free and strongly encouraged. All supplies will be provided!
