About

Robert Kehew discussed his recently published anthology of poetry of the French troubadours, "Lark in the Morning: The Verses of the Troubadours, a Bilingual Edition." The anthology honors the meter, word play, punning and sound effects in the troubadours' works, while celebrating the often playful, bawdy and biting nature of the material. In the book, Kehew augments his own verse translations with those of two 20th century poets--Ezra Pound (1885-1972) and W.D. Snodgrass (b. 1926)--to provide a collection that captures both the poetic pyrotechnics of the original verse and the variety of troubadour voices. The event was sponsored by the Library's John W. Kluge Center and the Alliance Francaise of Washington, D.C., www.francedc.org.
