- Summary:
- In Ancient Algorithms, Katrine Øgaard Jensen mistranslates, rewrites, and remixes her award-winning translations of Danish author Ursula Andkjær Olsen's poetry based on a series of self-imposed rules and rituals in collaboration with poets Sawako Nakayasu, Aditi Machado, CAConrad, Baba Badji, Paul Cunningham, and Ursula Andkjær Olsen herself. Equal parts exercise and exorcism, this project repositions translation as the very act of writing, exploring what it means for a work to be an original, a translation, a poem.--Publisher.
