This bilingual issue of the Point of Contact book series focuses the late poet laureate from Argentina, Saúl Yurkievich, specifically in the inner workings of contemporary poetry and translation. The poet, Yurkievich and his translator, Cola Franzen, share an intimate dialogue about words, meanings and resonance. “The text embodies a correspondence between the writer and his translator. The letters become almost an illustration of ways of seeing –of ways of being, one should add: a poet and his translator thinking poetry,” writes Point of Contact editor, Pedro Cuperman.
