El arte de traducir poesía

En la última novela de Liliana Heker, La muerte de Dios (noviembre, 2011), la protagonista manifiesta su odio por los diccionarios porque "siempre definen algo distinto de lo que las palabras quieren decir". Y a continuación agrega una exclamación maravillosa: "¡Las palabras quieren decir!" O sea que al significado se le agrega un ímpetu. Algo así como las ganas de ser pronunciadas. De allí que traducir no sea un simple traslado de una significación; implica a su vez la posibilidad de captar el balbuceo de la lengua. Con la poesía, esta tarea se intensifica. Y a veces hay que trabajar en voz alta para hallar la palabra escrita.

Gained In Translations | The Jewish Week

A translator (and fiction writer) on the tricky task of turning Israeli novels into English.
Evan Fallenberg Special To The Jewish Week
Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Amuch-discussed fact in the publishing world is the following statistic: only about 3 percent of all books published annually in the U.S. are works translated from another language. The stats for literary fiction and poetry are even more dismal, at 0.7 percent. So if you are an excellent writer writing in Danish or Polish or Chinese, a writer with good reviews, even a faithful following of readers, your work may never see the light of day in English.
