Oscillating between baroque textuality and vernacular performance, Noel's bilingual poems experiment with eccentric self-translation, often blurring the line between original and translation as a way to question language hierarchies and allow for translingual experiences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A number of the poems and self-translations here were composed on a smartphone, or else de- and re-composed with a variety of smartphone apps and tools, in an effort to investigate the promise and pitfalls of digital vernaculars. Noel's poetics of performative self-translation operates not only across languages and cultures but also across forms: from the d cima and the \"staircase sonnet\" to the collage, the abecedarian poem, and the performance poem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In its playful and irreverent mash-up of voices and poetic traditions from across the Americas, \u003ci\u003eBuzzing Hemisphere \/ Rumor Hemisf rico\u003c\/i\u003e imagines an alternative to the monolingualism of the U.S. literary and political landscape, and proposes a geo-neuro-political performance attuned to damaged or marginalized forms of knowledge, perception, and identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Urayo疣 Noel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816531684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816531684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2015 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2015 pg. 90","brand":"Urayo疣 Noel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169677046015,"sku":"9780816531684","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30f8ba7d-6841-4f82-9672-0d1b270bf7d7.jpg?v=1689654287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buzzing-hemisphere-rumor-hemisfrico-urayo-n-noel-9780816531684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
