Bonus: Spencer Lee-Lenfield on translating rhyme across languages
from Paraphrasis Podcast · host Camellia Pham
What happens when you translate from a poetic tradition that sidesteps rhyme into one that can’t help but hum in iambic pentameter? Spencer weighs the trade-offs of bringing Korean free verse into rhyme-chasing English, and why the occasional slant rhyme might be a translator’s best currency. This is a public episode.
