Poetry in Translation

Here’s a website I can recommend very highly: A.S. Kline’s collection of poetry in translation. I perused the German section and was favorably impressed. But many languages are represented – check it out if you’re looking for more reading material to keep you busy at home.

Kline is working on a new verse translation of Wolfram’s Parzival. What a gloriously insane undertaking. Let us hope the Plague does not cut him down ere he completes it.

    Wow, A.S. Kline is a real polymath. Still, I wonder how linguistically skilled he is, really – it’s one of those “he speaks 19 languages” situations.
