Fuji Yuki & Dimitris Tsironis ~ that sounds greek to me | Japanese & Greek Poetry of Grief

The process of translation is hypothetical, subjective, and elliptical. It prompts exchanges between languages, cultures, personal ideations, and inclinations, and demands a ‘digging deeper’ from the part of the translator who approximates the depths of a text with a searchlight,
