Her magic lens defamiliarizes all that is familiar, compressing distances between far-flung realms, conflating concrete and abstract, literal and metaphorical, physical and metaphysical. Exacting and oracular at once, Dimoula superimposes absurdity on rationality, caustic irony on dark melancholy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis first English translation of a wide selection of poems from across Dimoula’s oeuvre, titled \u003cem\u003eThe Brazen Plagiarist\u003c\/em\u003e, brings together some of her most beguiling, arresting, and moving work. The demands on her translators are considerable. Dimoula plays with the Greek language, melds its levels of diction, challenges its grammar and syntax, and bends its words by twisting their very shape and meaning. Cecile Inglessis Margellos and Rika Lesser, Dimoula’s award-winning translators, have re-created her style’s uncanny effect of refraction: when plunged into the water of her poetry, all these bent words suddenly and astonishingly appear perfectly straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471733113068,"sku":"9780300205732","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/949b0d9c15a91846ff9d859691a43e1e.jpg?v=1775792026"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kiki-dimoula.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
