Dark Moon Rising Poem by A.J. McKinley - Poem Hunter
Not long after writing this piece I will be returning to Berlin, for the publication of a bilingual selection of poems by Berlin Verlag, and a string of readings up and down theMatthew Sweeney country. For these I will be accompanied by my German translator, the esteemed poet Jan Wagner who studied at Trinity. It will feel like a new stage of a journey that has been going on for some time.

I tried fighting this but I had no chance. It was into the language lab with me, and nothing but oral German for a year — I can still remember a few of those sentences, now quaintly dated. Some years later I embarked upon a German and English degree at a London polytechnic, with one year spent at a German university.

During this time, the German half of the degree spoke to me much more strongly than the English. I was writing poems by now, and these were affected by my German reading. I soon shook this off but there were older, stronger influences. I was not aware of this for a while, but I noticed that when I began doing readings in Germany, they went down very well.

After one reading in a Berlin university, this old Professor called Schumann took me out with some of his students to a restaurant and said to me 'Mr Sweeney I have been thinking as I listened to you this evening and as I read your poetry before you arrived - and please tell me if this is nonsense - but I have been thinking that you are maybe continuing a line of German literature which contemporary German poets do not. Can this be so?
From the late 80s, if not before, poems of mine began to be translated in dribs and drabs, by several different people, but no one translator stuck. Nor did I feel that any of the translations were definitive. Translations began happening in other languages too, and even a few books came out, but none looked likely in German — the one foreign language I was at all competent in.

Nor was much happening in the way of publication. His final year saw the publication of two new collections: Maybe there will be a young man in Hamburg , or Munich , or possibly Vienna , for whom my German translations will be for a while important — and might just contribute to him becoming a German language poet with Irish leanings.
