Translation of the Route: Laura Wittner and Juana Adcock

Join Argentine poet Laura Wittner and her translator, Glasgow-based poet Juana Adcock, for a dual-language reading in Spanish and English to celebrate the launch of Translations of the Route. Audience members will have a chance to purchase a copy of the book (also published in dual-language format) from Glasgow indie bookshop tell it slant, and have it signed by the authors.

Translation of the Route is the first collection by award-winning Argentine poet Laura Wittner to be available in English translation. In poems that are precise, frank and finely tuned, Wittner explores the specificities of daily life – thunder at night, coffee stains, fleeting conversations and the rest – as well as parental love, life after marriage, and the reignition of the self in middle age.
