Abstract

This article shows that the French-Welsh poet Heather Dohollau places her bilingualism and practice of translation in the service of her poetic quest for a regenerated language, placing the reader at a foreigner's angle to his or her own tongue. In doing so, through the resources of poetry, an important contribution is made to the philosophy of language.
