"The word kissing, for example, tastes like dill pickle salad. Nocturnal tonguejests would work as an alternate expression.” That's #YokoTawada, her latest brilliance, its German sharply translated Susan Bernofsky. Thanks The Brooklyn Rail & Joseph Salvatore. brooklynrail.org/2024/07/books/…

Grateful to John Domini and The Brooklyn Rail for this thoughtful review of Yoko Tawada's PAUL CELAN AND THE TRANS-TIBETAN ANGEL
