copyright question

[Brewer, Michael]

A translation is a derivative work and the exclusive right to make derivative works lies with the copyright holder. One could argue that creating (and publishing) a translation of a poem for scholarly/research purposes is a fair use, but that would bring with it a certain level of risk.
