"Vindictive Dawn" by Renée Vivien
"Your hair is a rainfall
Of gold and perfumes upon my hands.
You lead me into lands
Where perversity is not held in thrall."

"Succubi Say..." by Renée Vivien

"We’ll go under the yews where night lingers,
Where, like a flame, the breath of the Dead blows.
We’ll gather flowers, wilted and barren, and
Bitter stings of spring will bite through our souls."
"Analysts attribute this sustained success to the international growth of Korean literature, coupled with organized support from both government and private sectors for translation."

Translators making contracts with @GrantaBooks, be aware that your contracts must stipulate "name on FRONT cover," otherwise they interpret "cover" to mean "back cover." Apropos of some nifty new Erpenbeck covers on the way that once again leave off my name despite the contract.
Hey, @KeywordsStudios! How about celebrating Translation Day by not threatening and pressuring your freelance translators into reducing their rates by more than 20%? When you're done boasting online the millions of dollars those translators earn you, I expect your reply.
My Brown lecture from February got posted, check it out. I talk about what translators should aim for in their careers instead of awards, sales, or entry into the establishment. https://t.co/Ci81BtPNBo

One very simple, basic, yet absolutely crucial piece of advice for aspiring media translators...
Research, research, research.
Research ends up being such a huge part of the job. It may sound silly but learning how to research quickly and effectively is an important skill.
