Aproximaciones divergentes a la traducción de poesía Herreño Contreras, Yomaira Angélica This article delves into the translation of metapoetic poetry, particularly prose poems. Firstly, it makes reference to fundamental aspects, such as: metapoiesis, the theory of the prose poem, poetry translation in the light of Translation Studies and the literary translator. Subsequently, findings derived from the preliminary approach to this field of study are displayed through three versions of prose poems by José Ángel Valente: the original (Spanish) and the translations (English and French). It is worth to emphasize that this is essentially a reading exercise aiming to appreciate and trace the unique quest for the initial word, pursued by the poet-a core theme in his poetic work-. Thus, this paper does not give account of a contrastive analysis to detect discrepancies, similarities or errors. On the contrary, its main objective is to attend the place where the initial word is gestated, and witness the dialogue established by the three versions of the poem. In this manner, a starting point towards more thorough studies on a divergent way of perceiving poetry translation is provided - in this case, metapoetic one - in accordance with translation as a deep reading experience, as opposed to a merely theoretical perspective. Este texto aborda la traducción de poesía metapoética, específicamente poemas en prosa. Inicialmente se citan aspectos fundamentales sobre la metapoiesis, la teoría del poema en prosa y la traducción de poesía a la luz de los estudios de traducción y del traductor literario. Posteriormente, se exponen los hallazgos emanados de la aproximación preliminar a este campo de estudio, mediante poemas en prosa de José Ángel Valente en tres versiones: la original (español) y las traducciones (inglés y francés). Es importante subrayar que este es fundamentalmente un ejercicio de lectura, apreciación y rastreo de la singular búsqueda de la palabra primigenia, hecha por el poeta -tema medular en su obra poética-. Luego, no se trata de un análisis contrastivo para descubrir discrepancias, semejanzas o errores. Por el contrario, su objetivo es primordialmente estar presente en el lugar donde la palabra originaria se gesta, y contemplar el diálogo establecido por las tres versiones del poema. De esta manera, se llega al punto de partida hacia estudios más concienzudos en torno a una manera divergente de asumir la traducción de poesía - en este caso metapoética- en consonancia con la experiencia de lectura profunda que es la traducción, contrapuesta a una perspectiva meramente teórica.
