| Summary: | This article analyzes some of the poems that Saer translated from English in a notebook of poetry translations. It focuses especially on the translations of William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens, notable for their philosophical precision and the delicacy of the treatment of images and sound in the poems. Saer is bold in his recreation of these poems, which sometimes exist in multiple versions. These unpublished translations, done only for personal use, were important for Saer not only as "warm-ups" but also came to bear on crucial moments of his writing, as is noted in a crucial scene of Glosa. |
