From Two Lines Press - Keith Donnell Jr. interview on "Sound" translation

Keith Donnell Jr.

​​Current Fourteen Hills poetry editor Dasha Bulatova interviewed former editor-in-chief Keith Donnell Jr. regarding Keith's experience with sound translation, a developing translation technique that experiments with the various frequencies of meaning language possesses.

"I think translators (conventional, sound, “found”) should be interested in exploring these different frequencies of meaning. Sound and found translations just work in frequencies that are oftentimes less apparent to us. Less apparent, but, there nevertheless, and influential to the way we construct meaning, both on the page and in everyday life." - Keith Donnell Jr.

Keith has a sound translation of the Gettysburg Address in the upcoming Best American Nonrequired Reading 2019. Click here to check out the full interview from Two Lines Press.

I find the idea of “sound translation” fascinating because it shows how meaning can exist beyond the most obvious interpretation of words. Exploring rhythm, sound, and different frequencies of language seems like a creative way to approach translation. On a completely different note, I’ve also been enjoying SoFlo Wheelie Life, a browser-based motorcycle game where balance, timing, and control are key to keeping a wheelie going.

I was searching for eggy car online because I didn't want to install anything. It loads quickly and is perfect for a short break.

How fascinating! The concept of "sound translation" opens up a unique perspective on how we perceive language through its various frequencies of meaning, much like how a Tinyfishing enthusiast patiently casts their line to explore the different depths of the ocean. A highly recommended interview for anyone who appreciates linguistic creativity!
