Translations

Garrison studied translation with Willis Barnstone at Indiana University. Although he has translated various Spanish authors from different genres and eras, he has concentrated on certain poets from Spain’s “Generation of 1927”: José Bergamín (1895-1983); Vicente Aleixandre (1898-1984; Nobel Prize, 1977); and Pedro Salinas (1891-1951).

Poems of José Bergamín (Spain, 1895-1983):

“It’s Time Now,” has been “carved into a stone disc set into the ground around the Meridian Line in the Dome in Greenwich, as part of the United Kingdon’s celebration of the year 2000.” It appears within a “selection of poems by contemporary writers from countries on the Meridian Line--the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, and others.”
