About

Место жительства: Providence, США

Sawako Nakayasu‘s (b. 1975 in Kanagawa, Japan) collection Mouth: Eats Color belongs in every translation seminar. It is a multilingual series of Chinese whispers made up of originals, translations and anti-translations. In it she rewrites ten poems by Sagawa Chika using various different translation practices, permuting them and letting them crystallise out quickly until the texts between Japanese, English, Spanish and French are brought into vibrating motion. It is clear that in Nakayasu’s work the poem is what happens between languages, a walk, a togetherness that engenders community, a “promenade”.

Nakayasu teaches at Brown University and co-edited with Lisa Samuels the book ‘Transpacific Poetics’. In productive translation she is constantly seeking the balance between faithfulness and beauty, and so experiments with various strategies, even including “roguish translations”. Nakayasu works with performance and film as well as with the mediums of language and translation.
