Ronnie Apter described herself as “a decent minor poet, a very good literary critic, and a reader of many languages. I decided to put my abilities together by translating poetry. All of my books are either translations or about translation. Digging for the Treasure: Translation after Pound is about the revolution that Ezra Pound wrought on the translation of poetry into English."
Ronnie also once stated: "My interest in music, together with a belief that opera should be as accessible and dramatic as the American musical theater is, led my husband Mark Herman and me to translate opera for performance in English. Among many productions performed in our translations are the American (1993) and British (1997) premieres of Lorenzo Ferrero’s children’s opera La figlia del mago/The Sorcerer’s Daughter.”
Ronnie Apter married Mark Norman Herman on June 18, 1967. She has two sons named Daniel A. Apter and Jeffry M. Apter.
