In the course of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brill.com\/between-linesyang-lians-poetry-through-translation\" target=\"_blank\">Between the Lines: Yang Lian\u2019s Poetry through Translation<\/a> <\/em>(Brill, 2012), Bruno helps us imagine what an answer to that question might look like while guiding us through the sounds and spaces of <a href=\"http:\/\/newbooksineastasianstudies.com\/2012\/11\/26\/cosima-bruno-between-the-lines-yang-lians-poetry-through-translation-brill-2012\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newbooksnetwork.com\/eastasianstudies\/wp-content\/nbn_author_photos\/cosima-bruno.jpg?w=584\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>contemporary Chinese poet Yang Lian. <em>Between the Lines<\/em> proposes an innovative way to read a poem through and with its translations, using a \u201ctriangular comparative analysis\u201d that juxtaposes the original poem with a number of its translations to identify shifts in the lines of the poem that serve as landmarks in the conceptual and textual world of the poet. Bruno uses this translation-focused methodology of reading to reveal fascinating dimensions of time, space, and subjectivity in Yang Lian\u2019s work, and to guide our attention to the performative importance of rhythm, blank space, punctuation, and sound in his verse. Readers who are interested in Chinese poetry will find much to absorb and transport them in these pages, and readers interested in the theory and practice of translation will find a clear articulation of a set of methodological tools that could potentially bear fruit when rendering texts across many different genres and languages.
