About the Offering
We write in the age of globalization and in the language most universal for our time. Contemporary international writers are now being brought into English at a high frequency, and major writers of English are revisiting classics for the first time in a generation. Where do you fit in? In this class, we will study the pioneering craft of international works. We will also tour through poetry translation strategies, and exercises will lead you into new drafts of original and translated works. Second language not required.
Materials Needed
No specific materials needed for this offering.
