Resumen

The present article presents the Galician translation of two poems by the Irish poet Paula Meehan and inscribes this translational practice within current debates on “eco-translation” in an attempt to foster further thought on the rationale of recycling former translations from out-of-print publications and interrogate the demand for endless growth of new translations. A succinct discussion of the content of Paula Meehan’s poems is accompanied by the analysis of their respective translations, in which attention is paid to aspects of lexicon, syntax and sound patterns but, especially, to the relevance of these two Irish poems to the receiving Galician culture in which a conspicuous number of women poets have similarly been scrutinizing and re-writing the patriarchal literary canon.
