Dear colleagues of French and German,

French and German poets are presenting their mutual translations of themselves at the Poesie Festival Berlin 2011.

This is one of the biggest festivals of the kind in Europe and always puts a great emphasis on translation and translators, as each foreign poet is usually presented along with his translator.

Wednesday and Thursday the 22nd and 23rd of june a series of conferences by the aforementioned poets will be held on the subject of translation.

More details here:

The whole thing is cleverly called 'versschmuggel' = roughly smuggling of verses.

There is a similar thing for german/spanish.
