{"product_id":"reassemblances-mike-zone-9798804425068","title":"reassemblances","description":"This text has at its origins in a quotation of \u003cb\u003eWalter Benjamin\u003c\/b\u003e: \"translation does not find itself in the center of the language forest but on the outside facing the wooded ridge; it calls into it without entering, aiming at that single spot where the echo is able to give, in its own language, the reverberation of the work in the alien one\" \u003cb\u003e(\"The Task of the Translator\"\u003c\/b\u003e [1923], in \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eIlluminations\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e(1968)). Around the time I encountered these thoughts on translation, I began reading the poetry of \u003cb\u003eHwang Jin-I\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eOtagaki Rengetsu\u003c\/b\u003e. I thought I might attempt some translations. I was fond of some of the poems that came out of that process working with multiple electronic \"translators.\" And I was not discouraged by the feedback I received in workshops. Considering the guidance I received from translator and professor Jen Hofer, I realized that in terms of translations, these pieces were failures. Still, I and others were interested in the product of the process, so I continued. The result is this chapbook of \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ereassemblances, \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003epoems of a non-existent life, based in part on my own. \u003cbr\u003e-Edward Wells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Zone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798804425068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.07d","brand":"Mike Zone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852053262591,"sku":"9798804425068","price":5.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reassemblances-mike-zone-9798804425068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
