translated poetry
Foreign poems rendered
Translated poetry is verse rendered from one language into another.
The term often carries an implicit question about what survives translation—meter, rhyme, imagery, or meaning—since poems rely on sound and structure in ways prose typically doesn't.
Something is always lost in translated poetry, but something new may be gained.
