Trilce

Poetry. The 77 poems in James Wagner's TRILCE are homophonic translations of Cesar Vallejo's book of the same name, or at least that was the cathartic process Wagner underwent--in creating them, his versions take on a life of their own. "Titling his book TRILCE, James Wagner calls attention to the fact that he used the sound structure of Vallejo's poems as his matrix--a process that has sometimes been called homonymic (or surface) translation and that Wagner called "auralgraph" in his earlier book, the false sun recordings. It is a form at least as demanding as rhyme & meter and, at this point in history, more likely to generate interesting work. But, as with any form, all depends on what you do with it. James Wagner does a lot"--Rosmarie Waldrop.
