"The feminine side of poetry" and conversations with poets: Krystyna Dąbrowska and Małgorzata Lebda

What time of year is conducive to writing? What should be the first step in translating poetry? What can become poetic material?

We invite you to listen to conversations with poets Małgorzata Lebda and Krystyna Dąbrowska with participants and attendees of the translation workshop "The Feminine Side of Poetry, or Through Poems to Language." The meetings, which took place on March 18 and 22, 2024 at La Sapienza University in Rome, provided an opportunity for female and male Polish studies students from Italy, Lithuania and Ukraine to ask questions about inspiration from the work of other poets, important themes in poetry and difficult but rewarding translations.
