Jen Hofer has won the 2012 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award<\/a>, chosen by Pierre Joris, for translating\u00a0Negro Marfil\/Ivory Black<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Myriam Moscona (Les Figues 2011). Joris says of his choice:<\/p>\n Myriam Moscona\u2019s book\u00a0Negro Marfil<\/em>\u00a0is a superbly orchestrated rhizomatic array of poems or, to quote the book, \u201can echo of shares.\u201d This process of writing through the echoic first set up by the title\u2019s ivory\/black dynamic leads to a quest for new ordering principles while proposing a breath-taking & -giving investigation of sounds, colors, rhythms and forms. Arising from a first \u201ctranslation\u201d into words of the author\u2019s india-ink images & collages, the book has now been impeccably translated into English as\u00a0Ivory Black<\/em>\u00a0by Jen Hofer, who also provides an excellent essay on the book & the translation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Congratulations to Jen and Myriam! You can watch Jen read from her translation of\u00a0Negro Marfil\/Ivory Black<\/em>, recorded at the third-annual Les Figues Garden Party in Los Angeles in 2011, on the Harriet blog, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Via Harriet: Pierre Joris Chooses Jen Hofer for 2012 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award BY\u00a0HARRIET STAFF Jen Hofer has won the 2012 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award, chosen by Pierre Joris, for translating\u00a0Negro Marfil\/Ivory...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[91,1006],"tags":[1185,1184],"class_list":["post-8438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poetry","category-translator","tag-jen-hofer","tag-myriam-moscona"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8438"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8453,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8438\/revisions\/8453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pierrejoris.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
