Translating Creation: Preconceptions, Misconceptions, Re[con]ceptions

Our final colloquium of the semester was “Translating Creation,” a talk by Peter Cole, renowned translator and poet, in two parts: First, an insider’s overview of translation—translation as a basic human activity that we all do all the time, for better and worse; and also translation as, and of, literature;  And second, a look at “translating creation” through the keyhole of the Bible, and in a way that relates to the first part of the presentation.
