Reviews
Gorgeously produced. . . . The ideas explored here . . . are about words and images having a life of their own, beyond the readily explicable, and the attempts of writers, translators, and artists to grasp and so prolong that life.

Synopsis
Sylph Editions's Cahiers Series features some of the most venerable names in literature and publishing as they embark on unique explorations in writing and translation. This newest installment unites two texts by celebrated Canadian poet Anne Carson. The first, "Variations on the Right to Remain Silent," is an essay on the stakes involved when translation happens and covers works ranging from Homer through Joan of Arc to Paul Celan. It also includes the author's seven translations of a poetic fragment from the Greek poet Ibykos. The second, "By Chance the Cycladic People," is a poem about Cycladic culture in which the order of the lines has been determined by a random number generator. The cahier is lavishly illustrated with drawings and gouaches by Lanfranco Quadrio., Characteristically fusing essay, poetry and criticism, this cahier by the celebrated Canadian poet and classicist Anne Carson explores the role of silence in translation. Two texts, essay and poem, sit side by side, encouraging the reader to discover the resonances between them. Ranging from Homer through Joan of Arc to Paul Celan, Carson s essay examines how the refusal to translate can sometimes be a form of resistance. In the poem, By Chance the Cycladic People , the order of the lines has been determined by a random number generator. The cahier is illustrated by Lanfranco Quadrio s drawings and gouaches, inspired by his reading of Anne Carson s texts. Densely packed with ideas and experiments in form, Nay Rather offers an opportunity to encounter one of contemporary poetry s most nimble and original minds meditating on the nuances of her craft., This cahier unites two texts by celebrated Canadian poet Anne Carson, encouraging readers to experience them alongside and illuminating each other. 'Variations on the Right to Remain Silent' is an essay on the stakes involved when translation happens, ranging from Homer through  Joan of Arc to Paul Celan; it includes the author's seven translations of a poetic fragment from the Greek poet Ibykos. 'By Chance the Cycladic People' is a poem about Cycladic culture where the order of the lines has been determined by a random number generator. The cahier is illustrated by Lanfranco Quadrio.
