The Sebald Lecture 2012 -- 'Making The Crossing: the Poet as Translator', by Sean O'Brien will be held on 6 February 2012, and that's also when they will be handing out the Society of Authors-administered 'Translation Prizes' -- six prizes for translations from various languages.
Only two of the Translation Prize winners have been revealed so far, as best as I can tell:
- The Saif Ghobash-Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation, which goes to Khaled Mattawa for his translation of Adonis: Selected Poems; see the Yale University Press publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
- the Vondel Translation Prize (for translation from the Dutch/Flemish), which goes to Paul Vincent for his translation of Louis Paul Boon's My Little War; see the Dalkey Archive Press publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
