32b. Bonus: David Hadbawnik on the Aeneid.
Besides that Diores starts whining since
he’d fall off the podium altogether
if Salius were awarded first
“RELAX”
says Aeneas, “I’m not taking nothing
from nobody
but I can sympathize
with someone who lost out
through no fault of his own”
For this bonus episode, we are joined by David
Hadbawnik, a poet, translator, and
medieval scholar, whose exciting translation of Aeneid Books
I–VI
was published by Shearsman Books in 2015. In 2012, he edited Thomas Meyer’s
Beowulf (Punctum
Books), and in 2011 he co-edited selections from Jack Spicer’s
Beowulf
for CUNY’s Lost and Found Document Series. He has published academic essays on
poetic diction in English poetry from the medieval through early modern
period. His latest book, Holy Sonnets to Orpheus and Other
Poems, was published by Delete Press in 2018.
We ask David about the particular challenges of translating the Aeneid, his
approach to the translation, and what he finds compelling (and frustrating)
about the second half of the poem as he completes his translation.
Show Notes.
