Jericho Brown's Duplex in translation is the second book in a new series co-produced by Fivehundred Places and V–A–C Press, Moscow, and is designed to explore some of the outer reaches of translation. Each book in the series is dedicated to multiple translations of a single poem. Inspired by a comment from Ilya Kaminsky about how translation should open windows and not create mirrors, artists, dancers, musicians, philosophers, curators, writers and visual thinkers were invited to imagine translations from their unique perspective, using a poem as a starting point, to make a version of that poem.
Jericho Brown is the author of three collections of poems, Please (New Issues, 2008), The New Testament and The Tradition (Copper Canyon Press, 2014 and 2019 respectively), and is the recipient of the 2020 Pulitzer prize in poetry.
Five hundred places is a press established by Jason Dodge in an attempt to bring new readers to some of the poets that have been so important to his thinking and working over the past decades.
Jason Dodge is an artist in the
exhibition A Model.
