"... lodged like a foreign body in the overall system of art"
I'm giving a reading and talk on Friday:
"... lodged like a foreign body in the overall system of art": poetry/translation/kitsch/cinema/grotesque"

116 Debartolo Hall
1:30 pm
I'm going to build off Daniel Tiffany's article to talk about translation as kitsch. I'm also criticizing Jed Rasula's model of "American Poetry Wax Museum" as essential a kitsch-based framework. I'll also talk about Breton, Plath and Aase Berg as kitsch/translation. I'll post my findings on this blog when I'm done.

Johannes,
Great seeing you the other night, at the reading.
I tried quite hard to make your (this) talk but something came up very last minute. I hope it went well & would love to hear more about all of it, specifically translation which is becoming a growing interest to me.
Take care.
