Abdiel Leroy Author And Poet

In translating poetry, I seek to convey not just the meaning of the original but to honour the structures too, in this case Rimbaud's rhyming structure of ABAB in the original French. Meanwhile, I am creating a work of art in its own right. Translation of poetry surely takes more time than writing it in the first place! Here I recite my translation, followed by the original. From my poetry collection, WELL VERSED: TO SHAKESPEARE, POETS, AND THE PERFORMING ARTS. Find it at https://geni.us/WellVersedAmazon.
