Out tomorrow: Phoebe Giannisi's GOATSONG, three volumes of poems that weave together epic and everyday, historical and personal, mythical and material. Brian Sneeden's translation balances languor with urgency as it voyages through quiet tragedy and sensual pleasure. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Delighted to receive a copy of this from @translatingwomen.bsky.social, who wrote the introduction. Latin American writers have consistently written some of the boldest, most challenging and illuminating accounts of female experience I’ve encountered. #booksky #feminism #translation

Raced through UN AMOR by Sara Mesa (tr. Katie Whittemore, pb. Peirene Press): a tense novella of everyday tragedies in which a transaction leads to an obsession and then an unravelling in the small-town community of La Escapa. Loved it. #Recommended

Almost exactly 7 years ago my first tentative tweet was about Han Kang's THE VEGETARIAN, tr. Deborah Smith.
As I start from zero again, it feels only fitting that my first post over here comes as I'm reading Han's WE DO NOT PART, tr. e. yaewon and Paige Aniyah Morris.
