translation, poetry, influence, adaptation, Emily Dickinson, Gilberto OwenAbstract
In 1934 Gilberto Owen publishes his translations of eight poems by Emily Dickinson for the benefit of a Spanish-speaking readership that barely knows her. In doing so, the Mexican poet acknowledges a particular affinity with her in terms not only of character but also of poetic themes, procedures, interests, and conceptions. This article claims that the translation work undertaken by a poet such as Owen, apart from its endeavor to expand the reaches of and to integrate foreign authors to the national canon, is significant because of the impact it has in his own poetic production.
