My Husband´s Woman
Literal Publishing
“Escribir es traducir,” says Alicia Borinsky as we pore over my translations of her book La mujer de mi marido in a Buenos Aires 
cafe. I hear Paul Valéry’s echo in the background, “Writing anything at all…is a work of translation exactly comparable to that of transmuting a text from one language into another.” As Natasha Hakimi explains in the Introduction of My Husband´s Woman, translating Borinsky’s poetry while maintaining its musicality has been quite an accomplishement. Literal Publishing is proud to present this collection of poems on a bilingual format.
