What Sparks Poetry: Vivek Narayanan on "Ayodhya" "Every translation is a collaboration among many, including all those who have come to this terrain before you. I am indebted even to those translations whose approach I reject because they gave me the benefit of having something to reject. If nothing is to be lost, something must first be gained." |

"Star Vehicle: On Translating Poetry" "So, the most important thing happening is in the movement and in the crossing, in the transcendence, and the translator is someone who carries goods across the border, someone who, despite even their greatest moral fairness, will, in the process, smuggle more than what is written on the page, who will participate—whether they mean to or not—in contraband activities." via LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS |
