Ghost Writing: Translation, Death and Renewal
On 22 June, 2022, I lost my poet. He wasn’t really mine, and I didn’t really lose him, but we belonged to one other in that particular way that translators and poets do, and his death extinguished …
“I imagine myself translating, sorting through the bones of my poet’s words — collecting, recollecting, re-recollecting — and forming them into a figure that might, if only briefly, rise from its grave and walk again.”
