Description

Winner of the Anna Balakian Prize 2016, this groundbreaking study examines the profound questions that arise when poets translate their own work across languages and cultures. Alexandra Berlina, herself an accomplished poetry translator and 2012 Barnstone Translation Prize recipient, explores what happens when Russian poet Joseph Brodsky reimagined his favourite poems in English. Through rigorous analysis, Berlina investigates whether translated poetry loses its essence, discovers new meaning, or transforms into something entirely distinct from the original. She considers whether self-translation resurrects the poet from literary death or creates a hybrid identity-a bilingual, bicultural figure caught between two linguistic worlds. This scholarly work delves into the philosophical and practical dimensions of translating one's own verse, offering readers fresh perspectives on the translator's role, authorial intent, and the nature of poetic language itself.

Key Features

Winner of the Anna Balakian Prize 2016, recognising outstanding scholarship in comparative literature and translation studies.

Written by Alexandra Berlina, a 2012 Barnstone Translation Prize recipient and practising poetry translator with direct expertise in the field.

Explores Joseph Brodsky's Russian poetry and his English self-translations, examining the relationship between originals and new versions.

Addresses fundamental questions about translation loss, gain, and transformation in poetry across different languages and cultures.

Published by Bloomsbury Academic, a leading academic press specialising in literature, criticism, and humanities scholarship.
