This time in two weeks I will have arrived in Prague for @praguemicrofest! Full program is now live. I’ll be reading (w/Czech subtitles) on the Sunday evening, w/Radoslaw Jurczak, Paulo da Costa Domingos & Trevor Joyce. Really looking forward to this! 🖤

Join OOMPH! co-founder @666icecream and past contributors Alexis Almeida, Carlos Soto Román and more for the @uglyducklingprs launch of 11, a monumental group translation project. We'll discuss some aspects of translating the text and our impressions and follow it with a reading.
Add Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine to your to-read list if you're looking for genre-bending writing that holds nothing back. @JSyersak has translated four incredible titles out with @uglyducklingprs, @lavender_ink_pr, @LitmusPress, & @OOMPHpress:

"This artist aligns the infinitesimal and the infinite in such dizzying succession with incredibly beautiful and innovative prose."

I no longer exist as an individual. I disintegrate at the atomic level and change into us, not me.
Then, they mix and dissolve in the air, water, and soil.
Eventually the boundary between me and the world will disappear.
Thrilled to share this bilingual excerpt of Carlos Soto Román’s 11, with artwork by Jorge Tacla. Tr. by @roadrunnerroadr, @666icecream, D. Borzutzky, @whitnefied, P. Greaney, @robin_ep_myers, J. Pujol, and me. Many thanks to LALT editor Arthur Dixon! https://t.co/CFlB4APw4H
I’ve been looking forward to these words—like watching the movement of a great tempest in the shattered pieces of clerestory windows.

Resurrection of Wildflowers @OOMPHpress
Translated into English by @JSyersak 💥
"I offer the heavens a crown woven from scolopendra! / I offer the heavens my yellow liver and my burnt-out nights! / And to you, I offer my head on a platter."
Featuring an introduction by Habib Tengour
Resurrection of Wildflowers by Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine, translated from the French by @JSyersak, is now available for pre-order. The first book Khaïr-Eddine chose to publish after returning to Morocco from self-imposed exile in France from 1965-79
