We're running a couple of interviews on Poetry Foundation this week that investigate language and translation from radically different angles. First up is this lively and thought-provoking conversation between Rachel Kolb and John Lee Clark: poetryfoundation.org/articles/15919…

Your native language, it turns out, doesn’t have to be the first one you absorbed. Isn’t that wonderful? Your native language is the one that goes deepest. —John Lee Clark on his new collection, HOW TO COMMUNICATE, with Rachel Kolb [Art by Adrean Clark] bit.ly/3GSbRw0

There’s not much language or idiom in the English poetic canon that is born of touch, that lives in a tactile environment. The English language felt so ill-equipped to me. —John Lee Clark in conversation with Rachel Kolb [Art by Adrean Clark] bit.ly/3GSbRw0

Loved Rachel Kolb's interview with John Lee Clark about his new poetry collection "How to Communicate" in POETRY magazine! Especially the discussion of how Braille and Protactile shapes his poetry. Indeed, everything becomes a verb--and deeply felt. poetryfoundation.org/articles/15919…

Deaf writers like Rachel Kolb and @sarahbea89 have written thoughtful accounts about how CRISPR may impact the future of their communities. My New York Times Opinion essay owes an intellectual debt to their important work 👇 sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo… discovermagazine.com/health/why-dea…

"Deaf and disabled people have always been supreme life hackers, and I have learned to embrace auto-captions as an everyday communication-hacking tool," Rachel Kolb writes: on.theatln.tc/C3njGez
