Abstract
A manuscript of poems by the author/ candidate is prefaced by a critical introduction that discusses both the positive and the difficult aspects of translating poetry from another language (in this instance, Swedish). The critical introduction explores how, in translating the work of others, a poet's own work is affected . The author/candidate then examines the transformation her own poetry has undergone, noting the differences between her "pre -translation" and "post-translation" poems.
