Regarding poetry translation (and a lot more), there is this book:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Ton_beau_de_Marot

By Douglas Hofstadter, that I quite like and recommend!

This is (arguably) a better book than GEB ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel,_Escher,_Bach ) for the literature-minded folks out there. I can't recommend it enough.
