French speaker needed to translate a number of very short poems (totaling 2,400 words) into English for a publication we are putting together. Must be able to convey the nuances and meaning of Symbolist poetry.
I am a native English-French speaker having grown up with both languages. I am very detail-oriented and would welcome the opportunity to do this translation for you. Both my oral and written skills are 100% in both English and French. Do you have a sample I can look at?

Translating poetry is not for the faint at heart. It is precisely what I have researched and what I actively translate for another client. Don't hesitate to contact me for additional information.
My French is not that good, but my English is excellent and I'm pretty good at interpreting poetry (because I enjoy reading it too). I've even written some amateur poetry in English and I'm sure you won't regret giving me this job.
