I've lately developed an interest in poetic translation due to Eratosphere, so I hope it's alright to nudge discussion in that direction. Are there reference books for and about the translation process that you translators find particularly useful?
By the way, I keep Patterns of Poetry by Miller Williams next to my Turco. It provides alternative examples, and there's a bit of variance in the forms included.
