The tutor: Sarah Jane Aberásturi studied translation at Dublin City University, graduating with 1st Class Honours in Applied Languages (Spanish, German) in 1992. Since that time, she has worked consistently as a freelance translator and interpreter, including five years in Barcelona. She has also taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in translation at DCU’s School of Applied Languages and Intercultural Studies. She has been a professional member of the Irish Translators’ & Interpreters’ Association since 1997, and is an ITIA Certified Translator for German and Spanish to English. Cost: € 15 per person. International Translation Day 2011 This year, we are celebrating the feast of St. Jerome, patron saint of translators, on 29 September 2011 with Translations, Perversions, Appropriations & Inventions at the Irish Writers’ Centre, 19 Parnell Square, Dublin 1. Born in Dublin, in 1947, Trevor Joyce was brought up between Mary Street, in the city centre, and the Galway Gaeltacht. Aged 19, he co-founded New Writers' Press in Dublin with Michael Smith. Joyce was also a founding editor of NWP's influential journal, The Lace Curtain. By the mid-’70s he had largely withdrawn from the Press to develop his own poetry down less familiar and frequented routes. In Dublin and Oxford, in the early ’80s, he conducted seminars and lectured on classical Chinese poetry, and visited the People's Republic of China as a poet at the invitation of the Chinese government in 1983. Having read Philosophy and English at UCD, he moved to Cork where he read Mathematical Sciences in UCC. He worked for twelve years as a Business Systems Analyst with Apple Computer at their European manufacturing facility in Cork, but since January 2000 has been a full-time writer. Joyce has published eleven volumes of poetry, including The Poems of Sweeny Peregrine (1976), his working of the middle-Irish Buile Suibhne, and stone floods (1995), which was nominated for the Irish Times Literature Prize for Poetry. All these books have come through small presses, where openness to invention compensates for lack of publicity, wide distribution or commercial promotion. His most recent publications are with the first dream of fire they hunt the cold: A Body of Work 1966–2000 (NWP & Shearsman Books, 2001; 2nd edition 2003), a large collection from Toronto publisher The Gig: What's in Store (2007), and a volume of translations, Courts of Air and Earth (Shearsman Books, 2008), which was shortlisted for the Corneliu M Popescu Award for European Poetry in Translation 2009. Founder and director of the SoundEye Poetry Festival in Cork since 1997, he held residencies with Cork County Council (2001) and NUIG, (2001/2). Joyce was a Fulbright Scholar for the year 2002–2003, and was Judith E. Wilson Visiting Fellow in Poetry to the University of Cambridge for 2009-10. He is a member of Aosdána, and has lived in Cork since 1984. -------------------- ITIA Annnual General Meeting The 25th ITIA Annual General Meeting will take place on Saturday, 15 October 2011, 11 am to 1 pm at the Irish Writers' Centre, 19, Parnell Square, Dublin 1.
