\"\"<\/a>TinFish Press announces the publication of Lost Wax: Translation Through the Void<\/em><\/a>, by Jonathan Stalling.<\/p>\n

The book presents Stalling’s sequence of poems about his wife Amy\u2019s work as a sculptor. These poems are translated into Chinese and back into English by members of a \u201cworkshop\u201d of eight fellow translators–Zhou Yu, Yao Benbiao, Nick Admussen, Jami Proctor-Xu, Jennifer Feeley, Eleanor Goodman, Lucas Klein, and Andrea Lingenfelter–then re-amalgamated by Stalling into a new final. Each poem is then presented in a) the original; b) the Chinese; c) the new English version. An additional workshop page illustrates choices made by translators on both sides of the English\/Chinese divide.<\/p>\n

The clay is the past
\nThe wax inherits
\nAs its own
\nThe conditions, but not the only source
\nOf her arising<\/p>\n
