Do you think translated poetry should include the original too?

[usef nahg]

i think that any book of translated poetry should include the original in its original language, even a person who doesnt speak the language will be able to find rhymes by comparing the shapes and letters.

[Ika Apo]

I have never thought of that, but I was always concerned about translated poems.

[Bron Bakers]

Nope, I don't that that it should. Poetry should remain as it is. It is a dying art already

[João Ramos]

That’s a fascinating question, and the answer is yes. But we all know that the publishers won’t want this additional cost.

[George Okello 2]

Ooh yes.Translated poetry should include the original too.This is because it would look nice and those interesting in learning a foreign language will find a huge headstart.

[George Okello 2]

A translated poetry should also include the original .This helps us to know of the poetry in it's pure non adulterated form

[wedwilson]

you can't feel the real feeling with translated poetry

[Atifdesigner786]

Including the original text in translated poetry adds depth that allows readers to appreciate the rhythm and structure, even without knowing the language.

[Dube nwa]

Yes,

Sometimes translations have a way of differing slightly with the original text. A poem is a very Sensitive work in the sense that both the endings and the words matter. So including the original text is important.

[Rob Parry]

Yeah - As a reference if for nothing else

[Mona Alves]

If it's reasonable (costs, page count), absolutely! There's just a lot of value to be gained from being able to look at both versions. I personally haven't ventured much in translated poetry because I'm always wondering about the original and how well adapted the translated version is. Having both versions in the same book would give me much more peace of mind
