Emily Wilson (“Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea”) and U.S. Poet Laureate Arthur Sze (“Transient Worlds”) join NPR’s Andrew Limbong in this conversation about the pleasures, challenges and politics of translation, connection across poetic traditions, and how modern norms inform our understanding of ancient texts.
