From McNally Jackson:

Please join us to celebrate The Cahiers Series No. 23: Letters to C with presentations frompoet Idra Novey and Erica Baum.

In the latest Cahier to be published by the magnificent Sylph Editions, American poet Idra Novey explores the idea of translation through two sequences of poems. In the first sequence, “Letters to C,” she addresses the figure and the words of Clarice Lispector, who she recently translated from the Brazilian. In the second, “Regarding Marmalade, Cognates, and Visitors,” Novey looks at the connections between language, translation, and the hosting of visitors, including her newborn son. Novey’s texts are in conversation with images by the artist Erica Baum–images of books that seem both to invite and resist attempts to read them.
