Love Paul Celan and love what I’ve read from Yoko Tawada this year (in particular, The Bridegroom Was a Dog and The Emissary) so I’m looking forward to her latest. For fans of Hiromi Kawakami & Bae Suah. Thank god for good short translated books.

With a changing key, you unlock the house where the snow of what’s silenced drifts. Just like the blood that bursts from Your eye or mouth or ear, so your key changes. Paul Celan #poetry #poem #translation

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.

Joyce Mansour, "I want to sleep with you..." trans from French by Emilie Moorhouse 6/10
I want to sleep with you elbow to elbow
Hair entwined
Genitals enlaced
With your mouth as a pillow.
I want to sleep with you back to back
Without breath to keep us apart
Without words to distract us
Without eyes to tell lies
Without clothes.
I want to sleep with you breast to breast
Clenched and sweating
Glistening from a thousand shivers
Consumed by the wild inertia of bliss
Splayed on your shadow
Pounded by your tongue
And to die between the rotted teeth of a rabbit
Contented.

Joyce Mansour, from Emerald Wounds: Selected Poems, translated by Emilie Moorhouse (City Lights, 2023)
L’orage tire une marge argentée
Dans le ciel
Et éclate dans un immense spasme englué
Sur la terre.
L’écume flottante
Envolée de la mer un déroute
Vient rafraîchir nos visages défaits
Et nos corps qui se cachent
Dans la sombre tiédeur de nos désirs endormis
Se dressent.
Notre sieste harcelée de punaises
Prend fin
Et le court lapement des vagues
Sur la plage où danse l’azur
S’est tu, mon amour
Et il pleut.The storm draws a silver line
In the sky
And bursts into a great viscous spasm
On the earth.
The floating foam
Surge of the ocean in disarray
Refreshes our undone faces
And our bodies hiding
In the dark warmth of our sleeping desires
Rear themselves.
Our nap hassled by sleep bugs
Ends
And the short lapping of the waves
On the beach where the sky dances
Is quiet, my love
And it’s raining.

Just a small thought but it pains me that the complete works of Joyce Mansour (Michel de Maule, 2014) remains such a hard edition to find. I got lucky picking up a nice copy right when it came out, but .... Glad to see new(ish) English translations out there, too. But still: Mansour deserves better!

My third pick is The Stranger (1942) or The Outsider (depending on where you are in the world) by Albert Camus. This novel written in two parts, truly interweaves existential philosophy with an absurdist outlook.
