Park In-hwan was among the poets who came of age in the aftermath of the Korean War. Rejecting the nature-focused lyricism of the prominent poets of his time, the poet sought to capture devastation and ruin. He died at age 29, a few days after writing a poem about Yi Sang.

If you feel like reading this novel, your wait won't be long. The English translation by Adrian Nathan West will be published by @Dalkey_Archive in about half a year.

Always. The books. Punctuated with cake.

Took a break from translating to sketch the little creatures in a Hiromi Kawakami story—they pop out in the pear orchard like “pear fairies” and eat nothing but pears. I love the way they talk & act & how they have fingers like hakobe (chickweed) leaves. 川上弘美「夏休み」#jlpp

Immensely enjoyed this interview bw @ArthurDixon and a "cover artist" I admire, @robin_ep_myers , in the new issue of @LatAmLitToday . When it comes to poetry, especially, I like to think of translation as a remix 😌 https://t.co/Z8eVNVY44U

Online talk: Rebranding Translation, Anthony Pym. Against working for a narrow profession: we must instead help and improve translation as a very widespread social activity.

If you are a translator from French and looking for an obscure classic that is: 1) short 2) dense 3) strange 4) beautifully written, I have just the right book for you https://t.co/VaTRN5ztfM

Mehul Devkala @MehulDevkala reading his Gujarati poem, Pavagadh, in English translation and crediting the translator (me) from the stage.

Gratitude from the community of translators. Tagging @shreedaisy Daisy Rockwell, the translator of Tomb of Sand and of so many others too.

[Archipelago Books @archipelagobks]

Today we publish the intoxicating stories of Caio Fernando Abreu, trans. @bdantaslobato
"Abreu’s prose shimmers and always surprises—each story is a small, bright gem. The fearless writing in this beautiful collection deserves a vast English-language readership." @PublishersWkly

[Jenny Bhatt @jennybhatt]

We don't talk enough abt the language pyramid in Indian literary translation. Why books from certain languages are more visible/marketable, their writers more well-known. How we barely know canonical works beyond a handful of Indian languages. What that means for our cultures.

[OCCT @OxfordCCT]
