1403: Echo by Pura López-Colomé, translated by Forrest Gander

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is Echo by Pura López-Colomé, translated by Forrest Gander.


The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “I also think that all literature is translation, in a sense. We are taking what is in our minds and translating that into language—and that’s true in any language. I think there is always a gap between what we want to express and what we can articulate with words. Language can only say so much.”
