>> Actually I'll do this in a second.
Leemos este primero y después pongo la explosión del tema.
>> Okay. ¿Quieres hablar desde el tuyo?
Yo te interpreto si quieres.
>> Quise empezar, después de Negro Marfil, fue tan fuerte para mí utilizar colores, manchas,
tintas, que pronto quise dar un salto hacia otras formas de comunicación con el poema.
>> So I wanted to begin, after writing Negro Marfil, after all of the black and white
of Negro Marfil, and all of the colors that existed in that book, I wanted to make a leap
into another form of producing work.
>> Y este fue uno de los primeros que hice como poesía visual.
>> So this is one of the first pieces I made as a form of visual poetry.
>> Y es algo muy sencillo, es una tela verde, un velo, un velo verde.
>> So it's very simple, it's a green cloth, a veil, a green veil.
>> Y una vez que visité a Jen en su casa en Los Ángeles, le regalé uno de estos.
>> So on one time I was visiting Jen at her house in Los Angeles,
I have her one of these as a gift.
>> Y ella enloqueció y se puso a hacer toda la ultra traducción.
>> And she went crazy and she started to make an ultra translation.
>> Es muy simple lo que dice.
>> It's very simple what it says.
>> Ver verde.
Ver de verlo.
Velo verde.
Velar al verde.
Ve lo verde, de verdad velo.

>> Ok. So, I'm on it.
And this is going to magically work
because I told it to. Take your time, I love PCs, it's good.
So, ok. So my vision is that that is going to apply.
Yes. Oh my gosh.
Look at that.
Ok, let me see if I can actually make this, is there a way to make it go down, like --
If someone about can come and help me to make this actually function.
What I want is to show them what the poem looks like.
Thank you, Patri.
Is there a way to pull down the bottom--
So, ok, that's - this is the poem that Myriam just read, and then if you keep going
down a little bit, I'm going to - Can you make it--make you stay up here with me?
Muchísimas gracias.
Ok. So, si vas más para abajo.
So in a - If you're translators, we have a thing called the trot,
don't know why it's called the trot, it is an exploded version of the poem
with like all the possible dictionary definitions.
It's not a poem, it's just like - here's all the different things these words might say.
So I thought I would illustrate that for you, and then I'm going
to read you my ultra translations of this poem.
And then JP and I are going to do an experiment in that.
Ok. Can you keep going down?
So if you keep going into the file you can see all of the different things
that Myriam is doing with this poem.
"Ver" means "to see."
"Verde" means "green," but it also sonically contains the word "to see."
"ver de verlo."
So we can just leave it there, we don't need to go through the whole thing.
Thank you.
But you can see a little bit here how completely not translatable this work is.
Do you want to be set free to go sit down?
You can. So I made a tiny book with some transportaciones
of Myriam's poem, and they go like this.
To see green.
To see she green.
Sheer green.
To shear the green see sheer green.
Really she sheer.
Red read. Read it red.
I tread red.
To tread to read.
It read red.
Really tread.
Light a light.
To light a light alight a light.
Lighting the light a light alighted.
Always to alight.
Light is light.
To light is light.
A slight light.
To slight the light is light a light.
Right I slight.
To see the sea see the seeing.
Seethe the sea.
Seething sea see the sea.
Sincerely see the.
