L’articolo esamina la resa in inglese di alcune poesie della scrittrice russa Nina Iskrenko (1951–1995), incluse nella raccolta The Right to Err (Washington, 1995) e tradotte dal poeta americano John High. Partendo dalle osservazioni di High nell’introduzione dell’opera, si metterà in evidenza come il processo traduttivo, inteso come una forma di dialogo tra due poetiche, conduca alla liberazione del linguaggio da connotazioni ideologiche

The article examines the English version of some poems by the Russian writer Nina Iskrenko (1951– 1995), included in the collection The Right to Err (Washington 1995) and translated by the American poet John High. Considering High’s observations in the introduction of the work, I will analyze the translation process as an existential dialogue between two intersecting poetics, leading to the liberation of language from any ideological connotations.
