As part of MPT's day of celebration in Oxford on Saturday 14 May Ulrike Almut Sandig and I discussed the poem 'Hinemoana'  during a workshop. The workshop was specially dedicated to thinking about how poetry translation can interact with film and sound. We watched a film made by Sandig of the poem with New Zealand poet Hinemoana Baker. Listen to Sandig reading and read the German  here. This is the film from Sandig's website. And here are two of the wonderful translations from the workshop by Amy Rose O'Hanlon and Thomas Marshall
