Wolf, Uljana: Subsisters: Selected Poems

Subsisters: Selected Poems by Uljana Wolf. Translated from the German by Sophie Seita (Belladonna*, paperback) Publication Date: November 1, 2017 Publisher Marketing: Poetry. Women's Studies. Essay. Translation Theory. Translated from the German by Sophie Seita. "This bi-floral or even tri-floral book of poems is for falselandy neighbouring nearspeakers who prefer to hold ear to phoneme to wit. Arranged according to the pleasures of a collaborative conversation between co-translating poets, sinuous between the structured palate and the muscular tongue, Subsisters coheres by means of a joyous principle of augmentation. Wolf and Seita have rendered authority moot; Value here is chosen conviviality. Lightness, charm and play clarify the discovery that all language is polylingual, all worth in shared joy only."—Lisa Robertson
