There is something profligate in the range and quality of Morgan's
work as a translator. He does the labour of ten writers, and with
blithe sprezzatura, partly at least because his own work nourishes
itself from the poetry of other lands and ages. It is part of the
necessary mechanism that Morgan, as a Scot, employs to define his
place as a European, to escape the tonal and cultural limitations
which England can imply.
"Collected Translations" includes six decades of work. Readers will
find here Morgan's celebrated Mayakovsky done into Scots, his
Voznesensky,
Pasternak and Vinokurov. There are the Italians and the
French--Leopardi,
Quasimodo, Montale, Guillevic, Provert and Michaux; and there is
Heine, and
Lorca, Cernuda and Brecht and Enzensberger and Braga. And much,
much more.
