Description
In Ancient Algorithms, Katrine Øgaard Jensen mistranslates, rewrites, and remixes her award-winning translations of Danish Ursula Andkjær Olsen’s poetry based on a series of self-imposed rules and rituals in collaboration with poets Sawako Nakayasu, Aditi Machado, CAConrad, Baba Badji, Paul Cunningham, and Ursula Andkjær Olsen herself. Envisioned as a shared debut, this collection of collaborative poems is equal parts exercise and exorcism, a haunting of literary influences that repositions translation as the very act of writing—exploring what it means for something to be an original, a translation, a poem.
