I translated around fifty novels and a collection of Christmas poetry. I fell in love with Celtic myths and Irish legends as a child, especially the stories from the Book of Conquests.

This workshop is where my love of poetry and Irish literature finally meet.]]> 2020-12-24 10:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/andrasimreh/Bookmarks/wish/1041195846 andrasimreh https://padlet.com/andrasimreh/Bookmarks/wish/1041196066  I live in Budapest, studied sociology and intercultural studies before turning to specialized translation.

One of my passions is translating plays and poems, ever since I had Latin classes in secondary school. Besides that, I often read, write poetry, play music and do gardening in my spare time. My first encounters with Irish culture happened through the band Planxty and Joyce: Dubliners and, thanks to the translation workshop, I got to know contemporary Irish poetry as well. After translating such wonderful poems in the last few months, I feel that this is only the beginning of a long journey.]]> 2020-12-24 10:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/andrasimreh/Bookmarks/wish/1041196950 andrasimreh https://padlet.com/andrasimreh/Bookmarks/wish/1057579689 Hi I’m a 53 years old ex copywriter, after the midlife crisis.
