Gardini will share his experience of translating into Italian the poetry of, among others, W.H. Auden, Ted Hughes and Emily Dickinson, to illuminate the nature of translation as a poetic process. Sonzogni is a Reader in Translation Studies in the School of Languages and Cultures at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He specializes in the poetry of Eugenio Montale and Seamus Heaney. (Red)
