Requested changes for Diana Senechal Wikipedia page

[edit]


  • What I think should be changed:

1) Add information to first paragraph:

Diana Senechal is an American teacher, author, and translator. The author of two books of nonfiction, as well as numerous poems, stories, essays, and translations, she taught in New York City public schools for five years before moving to Hungary in 2017 to teach at the Varga Katalin Gimnázium in Szolnok.[1]

2) Add a paragraph about translation activity:

In addition to translating (from Lithuanian) the poetry of Tomas Venclova over the years, Senechal has translated a number of contemporary Hungarian authors, including Gyula Jenei, Csenger Kertai, Sándor Jászberényi, Zsolt Bajnai, and Ahmed Amran.[2] Her translation of Jenei's poetry collection Mindig más (Always Different: Poems of Memory) was published by Deep Vellum in 2022.[3]

3) Add a section titled "Translations" below "Books":

Translations
  • Winter Dialogue, by Tomas Venclova, poetry translated by Diana Senechal, with a foreword by Joseph Brodsky and a dialogue between the author and Czeslaw Milosz (Northwestern University Press, 1997)[4]
  • Always Different: Poems of Memory, by Gyula Jenei, translated by Diana Senechal (Deep Vellum, 2022)[5]
  • Why it should be changed:

I added it myself before realizing that, as the subject of the Wikipedia page, I am not supposed to edit it. I believe that all of this information will be helpful to those who find this page.

  • References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
