This week the Dual Poetry Podcast is breaking its form to bring you two poems rather than one. ‘Thirty heads a day’ & ‘Graduate’ were both translated by Abigail Parry and Serafina Vick for the PTC publication ‘A little body are many parts’ which brings together poems from seven different collections of Legna’s poetry.

The collection has been shortlisted for the first annual Derek Walcott Prize for a full-length book of poems published in 2019 by a living poet who is not a US citizen.

You can find out more about the translation process on the PTC blog, were one of the translators Serafina Vick has written a piece called ‘Mistrustful Trust – Musings on Translating Legna Rodriguez Iglesias‘.

The Dual Poetry Podcast is (normally) one poem in two languages from the PTC. Please take a moment to rate and review this podcast on iTunes or wherever you download.
