This chapter contains a description of an undergraduate course on the translation of poetry, in which the students have to translate a few short poems and read essays on translation theory and practice. The course is a combination of seminar and workshop in which both the students’ draft translations and the readings are discussed. Its first goal is to bring the students to a higher competence in reading poetry and in recognizing qualities of language beyond the semantic, especially those meaning-making elements that poetry exploits. The second goal is for students to experience how the practice of literary translation enhances their grasp of several kinds of difference: between literary traditions, and between the functions and uses of poetry in distinct cultures and historical moments.
