Within an already complex field of literary translation, the issue of the (im)possibility of translating poetry has always been considered a special topic within a more general discussion on (un)translatability. While combining insights from areas of study such as philosophy of language, linguistics, and translation studies, the primary objective of this thesis was to deepen the understanding of (un)translatability by analyzing challenges that arise in literary translation, with a particular focus on translating poetry. Another objective was to show that the acceptance of difficulties that lie in translating poetry is the first step toward the search for translation strategies that will enable the translator to convey the author’s poetic language and style, as well as the form, meaning, and metaphors found in the source text. Finally, the topics of translator as/and author and invisibility of/in translation were analyzed with regard to simpatico, all the while using the debut collection of poems A Dry Place (Suho mjesto, 2021) by a young Croatian contemporary poet Vida Sever as a case study reflecting the complexity that lies in translating poetry.
