Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
The fruitful collaboration between poet and Germanist that brought about the remarkable translation of the "Sonnets to Orpheus" (Camden House, 1989) is repeated in this powerful new rendering of the "Duino Elegies."
Review:
"[Snow's] translation of the ELEGIES is the finest that I heave ever read....Snow understands the destabilizing effect that rhythm can have on poetic language, and he knows better than any other translator of these poems how to create a psychological presence with the implements of grammar and sound. His work stands the highest test that can be put to any translation: it would be a worthy poetic achievement even without the original to prop it up."
