Dan Beachy-Quick & Srikanth Reddy discuss poetry, history and translation."It is as if sometimes I can feel that the poem I’ve written is a repetition of a poem already existent, just lost—to me, to us, to time. Then writing becomes a radical form of recovery, of undoing a harm not even known as a harm.And the only access we have to the original, is by the poem that is a replica of what we can see in no other way."

"When I first saw the bandelette in the Musée d’art et d’histoire du Judaïsme, in Paris’s Marais district, I immediately experienced one of those Rilkean “bursts,” for here was an object, that in its ornate yet near-transparent being, invoked so much of the social, cultural and historic struggles of the Jews which are writ large across and infuse the whole of Western culture from earliest times through the rise of Christianity and the Church fathers, on up to the Shoah."
