Showcasing some of Michael Smith's more unusual translations, this volumes features a version of the Anglo-Saxon Battle of Maldon, together with translations of two long 18th-Century Irish poems, The Death of Art O'Leary and Sean O'Dwyer of the Glen, and 250 cantes flamencos. |
| Synopsis: |
Irish poet, translator and editor Michael Smith is based in Dublin and this volume collects a number of his more unusual translations - The Battle of Maldon, from the Anglo-Saxon, two long poems from the 18th-century Irish, and a large selection of cantes flamencos (flamenco songs). The book will fill out the view of Smith's work in Britain, where he is better known as a translator of Spanish baroque poetry. He founded New Writers' Press in Dublin in 1967, an enterprise which was responsible for the publication of a number of neglected Irish poets, as well as several important younger writers. He was also co-founder and editor of the literary magazine The Lace Curtain. |
