Keynote—Conversations Across Worlds: Translation And The Lyric Imagination

I’m honored to offer the keynote address for the Singapore Translation Symposium 2023.

Here is a complete description:

Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma speaks about translation as a form of apprenticeship to master poets, sharing how translating from Tamil and from Spanish has shaped his journey as a writer and poet and showing how what he calls the lyric imagination can transcend the boundaries between words.
