"I only translate authors whose work already interests me as a reader, and that's a decision I make based on multiple encounters with an author's work."

Previous Quote

If you take text and image and you put them together, the multiple readings that are possible in either poetry or in something visual are reduced to one specific reading. By putting the two together, you limit the possibilities. Text and image don't always work together in the way music and song lyrics become part of each other.
