Edited by Simona Gallo and Martina Codeluppi, Mother Tongues and Other Tongues: Creating and Translating Sinophone Poetry analyzes contemporary translingual Sinophone poetry and discusses its creative processes and translational implications, along with their intersections.


How do self-translation and other translingual practices mold the Sinophone poetic field? How and why do contemporary Sinophone writers produce (new) lyrical identities in and through translation? How do we translate contemporary Sinophone poetry? By addressing such questions, and by bringing together scholars, writers, and translators of poetry, this volume offers unique insights into Sinophone Studies, while sparking a transdisciplinary dialogue with Poetry Studies, Translation Studies and Cultural Studies.
