Robert Gurney on ‘Translating Bohoslavsky’

'The talk was well received. It was given before members of the Department of Hispanic Studies. It was well attended by members of that department and there was a lively discussion afterwards about issues relating to the thorny question of translating poetry. They were very interested in Bohoslavsky and I showed them things like his and my poetry published in Lillith (Buenos Aires). They were interested in Bohoslavsky's references to Dylan Thomas. We discussed the dreadful state of publishing in Latin America: how it is only possible to publish if one has money to give publishers. This, of course, means that working class poets cannot be published and that poetry in the printed public domain is the preserve of the middle classes.
The difficult question of High and Low Culture was addressed.
I compared my method of translating Bohoslavsky with that used by Peter Bush with Onetti'.

Amaos los unos a los otros
de Andres Bohoslavsky

En una cruz
El
en la otra
Barrabás
así estaban las cosas en el Gólgota
hace 2000 años
por lo que cuentan el día estaba terrible
como ayer, por acá
41º
cuando escuché que mataron
a uno que robó dos medialunas.
El gordo de adelante dice
está bien
hay que meter bala
querido
el barrio se está llenando de ladrones.
