poetry

I spent most of my life not reading poetry. Right now it’s the only language that makes sense to me.

During the pandemic year I worked on a couple of poetry-translation projects...Working on these books was extremely illuminating and rewarding, and they have been well received. F-Letter may have gotten more attention and press than any other translation project I have worked on. While I’m glad to have helped to bring this poetry to a global audience, I am ceaselessly bemused by a process that often involves marketing and politics as much as literature.
