We’re delighted to share that Laura Marris (Poetry ’13) has just had an animated translation of a poem by Paol Keineg appear in Asymptote. For this piece, Laura collaborated with a visual artist to make a translation in which multiple versions could exist at once. View it here! Laura had the opportunity to work on translating Keineg (and even spend time with him in person) when she was in France on her Global Fellowship in 2013.
This issue of Asymptote also features an interview with novelist and BU CW program director Ha Jin.
Congratulations, Laura!
