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.
