Translating Neruda: The Way to Macchu Picchu
John Felstiner
What goes into the translating of a poem? Taking as a text Pablo Neruda's prophetic sequence Alturas de Macchu Picchu (1945), the author re-creates the entire process of translation, from his first encounter with the poem to the last shaping of a phrase that may never come right in English.
