Somewhere salvation. Responding to Romanian poets
The purpose of the following paper is to provide examples of the author’s responses (in English) to several Romanian poets from the second half of the XXth century (read in English translation). The poets concerned are Marin Sorescu, Ioana Crăciunescu, Ioan Morar, Liviu Ioan Stoiciu, Ion Caraion, Nina Cassian, Mircea Dinescu and Elena Ştefoi. The author’s observations and speculations are mainly interested in the theory and practice of translation, with all its various forms (ranging from close translation to mistranslation, deliberate or otherwise.)
Keywords: contemporary Romanian poetry, translation, adaptation, variation, ‘poetry of response’
