One need only amble through the gates on Fisgard Street in Victoria or in Gastown in Vancouver to encounter vibrant Chinatowns, or through small roadways just off Dundas Street in Toronto to happen upon enclaves of Portuguese from the Azores; if you wander through the Côte- des-Neiges district in Montreal you will discover a polyethnic world - Kazakhis, Russian Jews, Vietnamese, Sri Lankans or Haitians among many other groups - while parts ot Dartmouth are home to an old African-Canadian community.

  • State District Organization Name Discipline / Field City Project
    State District Organization Name Discipline / Field City Project Description Fiscal Year Grant Amount To support the re-translation from the French of the 512-line poem "The Young Fate" by French poet Paul Valery. T.S. Eliot was convinced that, more than Rilke or Yeats, Valery (1871-1945) would remain "for posterity the representative poet of the first half of the 20th century." His influence on other poets is well-documented, among them John Ashbery, Wallace Stevens, and J.D. McClatchy. Yet, "The Young Fate," widely considered one of the more important poems in the last 100 years, is little known in the MD 0 Balbo, Ned Literature Baltimore 2017 $12,500 U.S., in part because the best existing English translation is difficult to obtain, and the best American versions are outdated. Originally published in 1917, it presents a young woman standing outside on a starry night, overlooking the ocean, contemplating her connection to time, death, and the natural world. This retranslation will come in time to celebrate the poem's centennial, and will include an introduction, notes, and a brief biography of Valery. MD 0 Dickinson, Elizabeth Literature Baltimore N/A 2018 $25,000 To support the retranslation of Latin and Greek lyric poetry from the 7th century B.C.E. to the 1st century C.E. in one comprehensive anthology. Featuring between 25 and 50 master poets from Archilochus to Martial—including well-known classical poets such as Sappho, Ovid, and Horace—this 448-page anthology of lyric poetry will offer a multiplicity of voices and personalities from different times and places (epic poetry, by MD 0 Childers, Christopher Literature Baltimore 2018 $12,500 contrast, is more objective, panoramic, and mythical).
