Author: Vicuna, Cecilia
Inspired initially by Jerome Rothenberg’s translation Flower World Variations, this volume presents Vicuña's poetry, “poethical” translations, and drawings related to cosmologies and mythologies surrounding the deer, and sacrificial dance in various cultures. The impossibility of translation is a springboard for Vicuña, opening up poetic possibilities as she continues her exploration into the nature of communication across eras, languages and shared symbols within Indigenous spiritualities.Woven like one of her quipu installations, Vicuña’s texts—which include compositions in Spanish as well as English translations by Daniel Borzutzky—become meditations on translation.
ISBN 9781955161114. Radius Books. hb. 252 pages. 35 b/w ills. 26 x 19.1 cm.
