Beschreibung:
Harry Guest was born in Penarth in 1932. He read Modern Languages at Cam-bridge before beginning a career as a teacher in schools and universities in France, Japan and England. With his wife, Lynn Guest, an historical novelist, he now lives in Exeter. His Collected Poems, A Puzzling Harvest, was published by Anvil in 2002. A further collection, Some Time, appeared in 2010, while Shearsman also published a mixed volume of translations and original work, Comparisons & Conversions, in 2008. His many other translations include a selected poems of Victor Hugo, The Distance, The Shadows (2002) and the Penguin volume, Post-War Japanese Poetry (with Lynn Guest and Kajima Shozo, 1972).
Comparisons considers the disparities between memory and expectation as well as the alteration in events separated by the gap of years-since, sometimes when we journey, we are "hoping by space to leave / the faults of time behind".
Conversions contains the poetry translated since Versions appeared from Odyssey in 1999. Harry Guest regards the effort of translation as a vital complement to creative writing, providing not only a technical challenge but also the strange effect of inhabiting another's consciousness for a while.
