Science in Poetry, Pat Boran, Translation

Abstract

We present the translation of three poems by the Irish poet Pat Boran: “Bed time in the Scientist house”, where we perceive a close relationship between the poet and science; “Answering Machine”, where the man-machine relationship emerges as a mitigating factor for loneliness; and, finally, “The Bomb”, where the terrors of war are presented in an illusionary perspective. Translation issues and challenges are presented.
