@DylanT114 If you're interested in reading someone whose work is in conversation with Celan, look for Ann Jäderlund's poems. Some of my translations can be found strewn throughout twitter. Also in the book Which once had been meadow (Black Square Editions).

I'm sick and listening to Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (the perfect vehicle, just hook me up). Makes me think: Why after a brilliant book like this isn't US literature marked by grotesque fever dreams? Why are 99% of US writers acting like McCarthy never wrote?

Was reading this insightful review of Victors and Kate’s book when I stumbled on a nice shoutout to my book Transgressive Circulation as ”spectacular,” ”provocative,” ”visceral” and ”incendiary”. Thanks! https://t.co/nJadD7iTsp

Ove the materiality, the fabric of Eva Kristina Olssons visionary art. Like in Angelgreen Sacrament where the book is like skin and the text is written in a green that errupts in the middle of text obliterating language in a sublime moment of green. https://t.co/n7FmsrGRgo

Heres a take on Delillo, in connection with film adaptstion of White Noise. In keeping with conventions of the Great Author, the article argues that with White Noise he became greater, more original. I disagree; https://t.co/qwFQdXrIsH

@CharifShan How about some non US poets- Dark Matter by Aase Berg, Alphabet by Inger Christensen, Im Ok, Im pig by @PoetKimHyesoon . For US poets - Descent of Alette by @alice_notley . Have taught these books many times, with terrific results.

We are told translation should capture "the spirit." But when we let the body into the translation, we invite volatility. The body can be infected, contagious.
