Description
Vahni Capildeo’s pamphlet Light Site presents a variety of ‘expanded translations’, poems after Eugène Ionesco and Pierre de Ronsard, amongst others. Notes on the texts are published alongside the poems: ‘Pierre de Ronsard’s poems were among the most memorable and musical texts which I read silently and aloud, and which I heard recited by my mother, during my growing up in Port of Spain…’
