The Cahiers Series continues its exploration of translation in all its aspects with this fascinating account of how a writer can translate beloved images into words.
Is ekphrasis a kind of translation? Or translation a kind of ekphrasis? What kind of ekphrasis? Which sort of translation? On Being Drawn, by MacArthur-winning poet and translator Peter Cole, is a meditation on receptivity and composition, sensation and sympathy. Braiding drawings by artist Terry Winters, poems Cole wrote in response to them, and a prose commentary that explores the often synaesthetic meeting of mediums, this cahier asks what it might mean to ''translate experience''. In the process, it reflects on the primary yet mysterious role mediation plays in all we see and do, hear and know.
