ALTA HAFT PG ad.indd 1 8/23/2016 1:23:41 PM welcome

elcome to Oakland, and to the 39th annual meeting of the American Literary Translators Association! This year we again surpassed all previous years in the record number of exciting proposals received for panels, roundtables, workshops, and readings, and we ended up with an overflowing schedule that reaches out into the community, with partners across the Bay Area.

WPlease join us for the offsite opening event on Thursday evening, sponsored by the Center for the Art of Translation and Two Lines Press, at the Parliament Event Venue, a short walk from the conference hotel. Afterward, a Literary Death Match, co-sponsored by New Directions, Graywolf, New Vessel, and Open Letter, and featuring translators alongside authors alongside comedians, promises to be fatally entertaining. Don’t stay out too late on Thursday night because the conference proper starts on Friday morning, and the first day’s programming will carry us through lunchtime readings to the ALTA Fellows Reading, the ALTA Awards Reception, and two offsite bilingual reading bashes. Pace yourselves, however, because Saturday’s schedule starts at 9:15 a.m. (ouch!) and again takes us into the evening, with a captivating keynote presentation by Don Mee Choi, more offsite reading parties, and the ever popular Declamación. After another full day of programming, the conference officially winds down on Sunday evening with a closing event co-sponsored by San Fransciso’s own City Lights Books.

Don’t miss this year’s book exhibit, which is being run by our friends at E.M. Wolfmann General Interest Small Bookstore in the Grand Ballroom FGH. The store itself is just a block away at 410 13th Street, near Broadway. Please support our bookstore partner by buying the books they ordered for you! And while you are feeling generous, don’t forget ALTA, which is in the midst of a fundraising campaign, with $10,000 of matching funds provided by a handful of your colleagues and friends from within the association. Please join them and us by contributing what you can — every little bit helps! Just go to www.literarytranslators.org and click on the “donate” button, or you can write a check to “The American Literary Translators Association” and hand it to an ALTA board member during the conference.

The “crossings” theme of this year’s gathering is something all translators feel in their bones, probably because we practice it so frequently. I have long suspected that the practice of translation encourages a level of attention to others’ words that many other aspects of our culture tend to ignore, to the extent that listening while you express yourself might even sound somewhat like a contradiction to some. It isn’t, of course.

As this is my final welcome letter as president, I want to emphasize the immense pleasure it has been to serve ALTA, an association of people who cross.

With best wishes for a warm and successful gathering.

Russell Scott Valentino, ALTA President 1 e are delighted to acknowledge the generous support for this year’s annual gathering, Wprovided by the following individuals and organizations:

We are also grateful for the exceptional administrative talents of Interim Managing Director Brittany Penzer; the planning expertise of Brandi Host and her colleagues at IU Conferences; the enthusiasm of ALTA Publicist Rachael Daum; and the efforts of a number of student assistants and volunteers, including Jordan Hussey-Andersen.

We offer special thanks to Alexis Levitin for his assistance, once again, with the ever- popular Bilingual Readings Series, now in its 28th year with record participation of over 150 acknowledgments readers and texts from over 30 different languages.

Big thank-you’s are also due to Elizabeth Harris, who is serving as mentor to the 2016 ALTA Travel Fellows; to Allison Charette for coordinating the second year of the ALTA Emerging Translator Mentorships; and to the following generous sponsors of the mentorship program: the Book Department of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, the Polish Cultural Institute New York, the Russian Federation Institute of Literary Translation, and the National Arts Council of Singapore.

Once again, we are pleased to thank Barbara Paschke for her efforts in organizing Declamación, one of the most cherished traditions at the ALTA Conference.

We are also indebted to the members of the 2016 ALTA Conference Organizing Committee, who helped to pull everything together: Susan Bernofsky, Nancy Naomi Carlson, Allison Charette, Ezra Fitz, Aviya Kushner, Cathy Nelson, Marian Schwartz, and Committee Chair, Chad Post. We are also grateful to our local conference chairs, Barbara Paschke and Diana Thow, for their invaluable efforts working alongside the conference committee.

Finally, we also wish to thank former Executive Director Erica Mena for her years of service with ALTA, and for laying the foundation for a wonderful conference in 2016.

She re-entered strongly with her own questions about her family’s WWII history and demanded to be translated. Monika’s work as a translator and as a poet now inform each other as two sides of her creative practice. A desire to address the dearth of women in translation led her to two authors whose work she loves to champion: Dana Ranga, a Romanian documentary filmmaker and poet who writes in German, and poet and novelist Daniela Danz, whose books Pontus and V both explore regional and national identity and history.

Over the past years Monika has published translations of poetry and prose from Durs Grünbein, Dana Ranga, and Daniela Danz in journals such as POETRY Magazine, Michigan Quarterly Review, Guernica, and Asymptote; she has translations forthcoming in Asymptote and the Harvard Review Online “Omniglots” feature. Her poetry chapbook Grammar of Passage, which is inspired by her German family’s films, letters, and stories, won the 2015 Venture Poetry Award and is forthcoming from flipped eye publishing in the UK. Monika left New Mexico School for the Arts in 2016 to move to Portland, OR, with her family and now teaches German online for Oregon State University.

Nicholas Glastonbury (2016 ALTA Travel Fellow)

Nicholas Glastonbury is a translator and writer based in Brooklyn. He is a PhD student in cultural anthropology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He received his BA from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University.

fellowships Following a serendipitous trip to Turkey during his freshman year at NYU, he began learning the Turkish language concurrent to his coursework in creative writing. Turkish was thus formative to Nicholas’s creative work from very early on. In the subsequent years, Nicholas spent a significant amount of time in Turkey; in addition to the time he spent in the Department of Turkish Language and Literature at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul, he received a Critical Language Scholarship in Advanced Turkish to study in Izmir, worked as a literary archivist’s assistant, and became involved in social and political movements and advocacy. He began working in earnest as a translator in 2012, during his time as a researcher for the Center for Truth, Justice, and Memory (Hafıza Merkezi) in Istanbul, and never turned back.

After several years working as a (primarily academic) translator, Nicholas began graduate studies in comparative literature with a focus on nationalism, gender, political ecology, and translations of Kurdish literature into Turkish. This work parlayed into his current doctoral work in the field of anthropology, which focuses on radio broadcasting, environmental struggles, intellectual production, and women’s political praxis within the Kurdish movement in Turkey.

Nicholas previously attended the ALTA annual conference in 2014, where he organized a panel titled “Engineering Intention: Translating Turkish Literature” and presented a paper on the work of writer Yusuf Atılgan and his experimentation with the structural limits and possibilities of the Turkish language. Thanks to connections made at the conference, he recently became involved as a translator and editor for a new initiative called KurdîLit, a Turkey-based project funded by Literary Live Europe that intends to promote Kurdish literature to international audiences.

Currently, Nicholas is working on a translation of the novel A Place upon Your Face (Yüzünde Bir Yer) by Sema Kaygusuz. Narrated in the second person, the novel tells the story of a granddaughter’s reckoning with the suppressed and traumatic memories of her grandmother, who survived a genocidal massacre in the Dersim region of southeast Turkey in 1938. Based on Kaygusuz’s relationship to her own grandmother, the novel embeds the turmoil of contemporary mass violence within mythic and deep historical timescapes, cracking open the modern history of Turkey to ask greater questions about good and evil, about exile and survival, about resilience in an age of everyday horror. The work, described by the author herself as an ecofeminist undertaking, stands at the juncture of Nicholas’ s academic, creative, and translation work to date.

Apart from his doctoral studies and his translation and writing work, Nicholas is also a co-editor of and contributor to the Turkey Page of the e-zine Jadaliyya, which publishes critical perspectives and analyses of historical and contemporary issues across the Middle East.

4 fellowships Haider Shahbaz (2016 ALTA Travel Fellow)

Being from Pakistan — a country where both English and Urdu are official languages, and where a host of regional languages are commonly spoken — Haider learned the importance of translation early in his life. His childhood memories include his grandmother reciting Punjabi verses from the popular romance Heer Ranjha, his father telling stories of Amir Hamza in Urdu, and his uncle mesmerizing him with Grimms’ fairy tales, reading out loud from a colorfully illustrated English version. As a result, he never saw translation as a skill to be acquired, but rather as a reality to be lived every day.

When he left Pakistan at the age of sixteen to finish high school in Britain, his ability to translate became even more pertinent, allowing him to move across geographic boundaries in addition to linguistic ones. He continued to read in multiple languages, discovering Orwell at the same time as Manto, Toni Morrison along with Bano Qudsia. Literature became, for him, a way of living between languages, and with them, identities.

Later, he came to America to study at Yale University. Seeing the misinformed and irresponsible way in which Islam was often translated for an American audience, he found it increasingly necessary to pay attention to the ethical questions that informed the role of translation, not simply the aesthetic questions. He began to understand how the task of translation — the task, in other words, of negotiating difference — was central to the way cultures imagined gender, race, and nationality.

His general interest in the way societies and individuals engaged translation turned into a more concrete interest in literary translation, specifically the translation of Urdu prose and poetry into English, when he joined the MFA program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Guided by generous teachers and encouraged by an MFA program that prioritized translation, he focused on the work of contemporary Urdu writers who are often ignored unlike English-language writers from the region.

His first translated novel, Hassan’s State of Affairs by Mirza Athar Baig, will be published next year. The experimental novel follows a group of surrealist filmmakers in their effort to capture Pakistan. The opening chapter of the novel was published in Brooklyn Rail, and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Other translations have appeared in Portland Review, Aldus, and 3quarksdaily. His critical work has appeared in Los Angeles Review of Books, Jadaliyya, Himal SouthAsian, The Believer Logger, and Tanqeed. Starting in October, he will be the Charles Pick Fellow at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK.

Kelsi Vanada (2016 ALTA Travel Fellow)

Kelsi Vanada is studying Literary Translation in the MFA program at the University of Iowa, and will graduate in the spring. She came to translation by way of her involvement with the International Writing Program (IWP) at the University of Iowa, while she was studying poetry in the Writers’ Workshop (MFA, 2016). This means that her first experiences with translation were in the context of working closely with visiting writers-in-residency to bring their poems into English. Collaboration is still an important part of any translation project for Kelsi.

Kelsi grew up outside of Denver, Colorado, where she studied English and Spanish at the University of Denver. An important part of her undergraduate career was the semester she spent studying in Copenhagen through DIS, the Danish Institute for Study Abroad. While there, Kelsi lived with her Danish family members, learned Danish, and learned as much as possible about the Scandinavian cultures. Following graduation, Kelsi lived another semester abroad while teaching English as a foreign language in Calama, Chile, through the program Inglés Abre Puertas (English Opens Doors).

After teaching Spanish, writing, and poetry in Denver for four years in a K-8 school, Kelsi was accepted to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and felt that for the first time she could call herself a poet and focus fully on her love of creative writing. With her interest in languages, translating the poetry of other language writers seems like a natural next step for Kelsi after studying poetry. She is grateful to have worked under the direction of Nataša Ďurovičová, editor for the IWP (where Kelsi now works as a research assistant), and Aron Aji, head of the MFA in Literary Translation.

Kelsi’s translations of poems by Venezuela poet Natasha Tinacos (IWP, 2014) can be found in Berfrois. Kelsi is currently translating the book La edad de merecer [The Eligible Age] (La Bella Varsovia, 2015) by Spanish poet Berta García Faet; the translation will be published by Song Bridge Press in spring 2017. Faet’s work is feminist, formally innovative, and tradition- breaking — a new kind of confessional poetry that makes poignant the poet’s experience as a female writer.

Kelsi’s other project is a continuation of a translation project started last fall with IWP visiting writer Marie Silkeberg from Sweden. Together they translated a series of poems, “The Cities,” from Silkeberg’s book Till Damaskus [To Damascus] (Albert Bonniers Förlag, 2014). These translations won the Asymptote “Close Approximations” contest, judged by Michael Hofmann, in April. It was a great honor, and inspired Kelsi to continue translating the rest of the book with Silkeberg. Till Damaskus was written with Silkeberg’s collaborator, the Syrian-born Palestinian poet Ghayath Almadhoun, as a way of processing the events of the Arab Spring. Hybrid in form and dense in sound, the poems take on questions of immigrant identity, memory, and loss.

This is Kelsi’s first ALTA conference, and she is excited to meet with other translators and gain new knowledge about the art of translation. 5 ALTA EMERGING TRANSLATOR MENTORSHIPS

For the second year, ALTA is proud to present our year-long mentorship program for emerging translators working on a book- length project from French, Polish, Russian, and a Singaporean language. The ALTA Mentorship program is designed to facilitate and establish a close working relationship between an experienced translator and an emerging translator on a project selected by the emerging translator. Mentors for the 2016-2017 mentorships are Emmanuelle Ertel (French), Bill Johnston (Polish), Marian Schwartz (Russian), and Jeremy Tiang (Singaporean). These mentorships are being offered by ALTA in partnership with the Book Department of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, the Polish Cultural Institute New York, the Russian Federation Institute of Literary Translation, and the National Arts Council of Singapore.

Noah Mintz (French)

Noah M. Mintz began translating at Vassar College, where he received his BA in Media Studies and French & Francophone Studies. During his third year there, he spent one semester living, studying, reading, and eating in France. Somewhere between Poughkeepsie and Paris, he caught the translation bug. As an elective senior capstone project in the French department, he translated the first half of Patrick Modiano’s Pour que tu ne te perdes pas dans le quartier into English, earning a grade of distinction. After graduating, he moved to New York to learn more about translation and publishing. He managed to surround himself with literature from around the world as an intern at Archipelago Books and a bookseller at Strand. He recently moved to San Francisco, and has fallen in love with the area’s linguistic diversity and wonderful people. mentorships

Noah’s first extended encounter with the French language happened far from the metropolitan “Hexagon,” when as a teenager his family took a sabbatical journey through the Caribbean. Like many Americans his age, his associations with the language at the time were limited to berets, baguettes, and brie. He was dazzled by this other vision of Francophone culture, and worked to expand it as he began to study the language formally in college. He took courses on Franco- Caribbean history and literature, and was exposed to works of art from all across the Francophonie.

His degree in Media Studies afforded him the opportunity to study in several fields, but all of his coursework was connected by a common thread of cultural studies and critical theory. His studies of film, art history, drama, literature, and criticism exposed him to a broad and motivating array of writers and artists who seek to take on and share a wide, inclusive, and intersectional worldview.

Noah sees translation as a powerful and unique tool for social justice, one that can promote voices that might otherwise not be heard. He aims to seek out narratives and perspectives that complicate the notions that Anglophone readers might hold of other cultures, near and far. The act of translating is a chance to both step up, addressing the issues of American cultural dominance, and to step back, by helping other voices speak louder rather than presuming to add his own to an already-rich global chorus.

Moving forward, Noah is excited by new possibilities for translation, both personally and nationally. He sees a real burgeoning movement in the world of publishing, with more and more publishers of all kinds cropping up and showing their commitment to bringing translated writing to an American audience. He is excited to be a part of this movement, and hopes to make himself useful however he can.

Eliza Rose (Polish)

Eliza Rose grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and has recently made herself at home in the foothills of northeast Los Angeles. She is grateful for the LA Public Library system’s enormous stores of science fiction and audiobooks to explore, and likes listening to murder mysteries while driving around Pasadena.

Eliza’s high school teacher left a copy of Bruno Schulz’s story collection Street of Crocodiles on his desk with her name on a post-it note stuck on its cover, and the gift seeded a long-term involvement with Polish literature. She began learning Polish halfway through college, when she saved up her tips from a grueling summer job to spend two weeks in Krakow. She ultimately came back for a year after finishing up her BA at the University of Chicago, thanks to a fellowship from the Kosciuszko Foundation. She worked as a translator at the Galicia Museum, a small museum devoted to the area’s Jewish history. She finally got comfortable with the language by ruthlessly parroting her roommate, who patiently offered herself up as a learning prop and a friend.

In Poland, her interests roved from literature to animation, film and art, as she gravitated towards the intense productivity of Polish artists of the 1970s, who had found themselves some elbowroom within the ideological parameters of their time. A retrospective on Józef Robakowski at Warsaw’s Center for Contemporary Art introduced her to the structural filmmaking and conceptual art of the seventies that brought tropes of the Russian avant-garde back into circulation, and put Polish artists in conversation with a global community. 6 mentorships With a new palate of interests and questions, she started her PhD in Slavic languages at Columbia University in 2012. The program gave her the time and resources to include Yugoslavia in her area of study, so she has been studying Serbian for the last two years, and has come to love Belgrade, where she clocks as much time as she can manage. She has just started collecting research for her dissertation, which will compare narrative frameworks for representing labor in the visual culture of Poland and Yugoslavia in the seventies.

In Los Angeles, Eliza works as a freelance researcher and writer for film production and multimedia storytelling. She finds it curious to encounter narrative speculations and visualizations she associates with the Eastern Bloc and its futurist impulses of the sixties and seventies here and now, in a city where Hollywood and the tech industry somewhat gracelessly collide.

She is working on a novel of science fiction while she takes up the slow work of writing her dissertation.

Sabrina Jaszi (Russian)

Sabrina Jaszi is a fiction writer and translator of Russian fiction and poetry, based in Illinois. She earned her MFA in fiction writing from the University of Florida and also holds an MS in Library Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she currently works on Slavic digital projects at the university library.

Sabrina grew up in a bilingual French-speaking household with parents who loved to read and travel. As a student of Oberlin College she enrolled in a course in Russian Decadence taught by Russian scholar Tim Scholl and soon after began studying Russian. In Comparative Literature classes at Oberlin, she was introduced to a great swath of literature in and on translation and, during a year abroad in St. Petersburg, completed a translation of a contemporary Russian short story as part of her thesis paper. After graduating, she spent time in Ukraine, where she continued to study and read Russian and had her first translation gig, translating political and economic news. Later, at the University of Florida, she began to pursue literary translation more actively and consistently. With the support of Michael Hofmann, a poetry faculty member and accomplished translator, as well as of her classmates (including former ALTA honorees Claire Eder and Hai-Dang Phan), she translated the work of contemporary Russian poet Andrei Rodionov. Later still, at the University of Illinois, she first attempted translation of a work of fiction, a story by the émigré author Sergei Dovlatov. As a fiction writer herself, she felt at home with the form, and eager to pursue other fiction projects. Also at the University of Illinois, she first attempted a translation into Russian. Together with her instructor, translator and translation scholar Roman Ivashkiv, she completed a Russian-language translation of Leonard Michaels’s list story “In the Fifties.” Thanks to all of these individuals and institutions, translation has become an essential part of her creative practice and of her perpetual and ongoing study of Russian. For the last several years Sabrina has also studied Uzbek language and hopes to begin work soon on translations from Uzbek.

Sabrina’s current translation project is a book-length collection of short stories and novellas by Reed Grachev (1935-2004), a Leningrad author who, though greatly admired by his contemporaries, published little in the Soviet Union. He is the author of the 1967 story collection ? (Where is Your Home?) and the 1994 collection (No One’s Brother), as well as the translator of a 1981 collection of the works of Saint-Exupery. Two posthumous anthologies of his writing and translations were published in 2013 and 2014. Sabrina was drawn to Grachev for his voice (Grachev writes beautifully from the perspective of children, for example) and timeless, unfussy realism. He describes his world — that of an orphan, that of a Soviet citizen, that of a writer — in exceedingly personal terms, gracefully, and with humor. In 2014, a German-language collection of Grachev’s stories was published, but little of his work has been translated into English. Sabrina greatly looks forward to continuing work on this project with the support and mentorship of Marian Schwartz, as well as to sharing some of her translations of Grachev’s singular and affecting stories at the ALTA 2016 conference.

As translators, we often confront verses we may not even understand, or poems we understand in multiple, incongruent ways. How do we reflect what we read in translations that will not flatten the experience for potential readers who cannot access the original? What resources are available to make the translation process more effective? The panelists will share experiences with specific poets and some of the translation techniques that result from confronting what we think of as excessive, neo-baroque, experimental or incredibly difficult work.

11:00am – 12:15pm Translation and the Minority Languages of the Former Soviet Union OCC 203 The session explores all the topics in the sphere of literary translation between the minority languages of the former Soviet Union. Questions of interest include translation as a form of cultural mediation and conflict resolution, direct and indirect translation, translator visibility, as well as theoretical considerations of approach (literal vs. artistic translation) as an outgrowth of the Soviet approaches to translation. The panel will also consider practical questions of audience and readership, demand, and the impact of translation on the formation of the post-Soviet literary canons in the former Soviet republics. Moderator: Margarit Ordukhanyan Participants: Katherine Young Shelley Fairweather-Vega Adel Fauzetdinova

11:00am – 12:15pm Conundrums of Cuban History for Readers in English Translation OCC 204 Is there is a particular burden on the translator to English of Cuban works, given the long history of strained relations between Cuba and the US as well as the changed and newly charged landscape of the so-called thaw? How do we determine how much historical context to provide, whether in the text or in a translator’s note? What are the ethical considerations of pressing Cuban authors for their own views regarding Cuban national history and politics? Do these ethical or political questions weigh more heavily in the context of the new Cuban-US alliance? Moderator: Marilyn Miller Participants: Esther Allen Pamela Carmell Jacqueline Loss Sara Cooper

11:00am – 12:15pm Translation as Performance: Crossing Genres, Crossing Lives OCC 208 We view translation as a performative act, creating new voices and publics. Katrina Dodson reflects on her translations of Clarice Lispector as a one-woman vaudeville show, sharing her “actor’s notebook” from the process. Magdalena Edwards considers Elizabeth Bishop’s translations through Stanislavski’s acting techniques for truthful performance. Isabel Gómez analyzes “Sor Juana’s Striptease” by Jesusa Rodríguez, a mobilization of baroque poetry to enrich protest language. Suzanne Jill Levine discusses new-media translation in “Man in Tweed or Tweets in Translation.” Kevin McDonald presents his script-in-progress, an imagined encounter between Susan Sontag and her Brazilian translator Caio Fernando Abreu. Our panel examines translation performances of gender, authorship, and ventriloquism. Moderator: Isabel Gómez Participants: Katrina Dodson Magdalena Edwards Suzanne Jill Levine Kevin McDonald

3:45pm – 5:00pm The Devil in the Details: A Translator’s Checklist for Negotiating Contracts Junior Ballroom 1-2 You want to translate a book. A press is ready to publish it. They send you a contract. What should you be looking for? Fee, copyright, name on the cover, royalties, final say on the text? Due date? Publication date? With so many details to keep track of, it’s easy to overlook something. Translators from the PEN America Translation Committee, the Translators Association (UK), and the Literary Translators’ Association of Canada present a checklist to help you use their model contracts to get the best terms you can get. Moderator: Alex Zucker Participants: Allison Markin Powell Antonia Lloyd-Jones María José Giménez

With readings by Alexis Almeida, Victoria Cóccaro, Jen Hofer, John Pluecker, Rebekah Smith, and Stalina Emmanuelle Villarreal.

3:45pm – 5:00pm The Immigrant as Translator Junior Ballroom 4 Many different paradigms of translation are based on the idea that the translator is someone who ventures out in the world and brings back foreign texts. How is our thinking about translation changed if the translator is an immigrant (or emigrant) who comes from a foreign culture and literary tradition? Are the issues facing an immigrant translator different from a native English- speaker? The panelists are all translators whose practices have been informed by their background as immigrants.
