Words You Burn Down: Toward a Poetics of Incomprehensible Translation

Reed College — Eliot 314 - Classroom Lecture Hall3203 SE Woodstock Blvd
The talk addresses the deep connection between the Jewish German-language poet Paul Celan (1920–1970) and his most prolific translator, the contemporary translingual American poet Pierre Joris (1946–2025). Taking Joris's recent and final translated volume of Celan's poetry—Memory Rose into Threshold Speech (2020)—as its discursive perch, this talk constellates various key interlocutors between the two poets and examines Joris's tremendous half-century-long feat in translating the complete...
