Experiment 8

I translated one of Ian Hatcher's poems from his All New work into Spanish. Here is what it looks like:


    nuestro correspondiente afuera ahora
                  con una historia nueva de ante-landia &&

             una coneccion nueva
un hombre hecho de nuevo se amarró a su ventana

una noche nueva         de nuevo crear un nuevo
                                                   cuchillo para
esta esta nueva noche del futuro         mientra se enrosca de nuevo
uno como este como este uno     se curva en ese uno
                     
nosotros dos podemos ser nuevos           completamente-nuevos
juntos podemos ser completamente-nuevos                                en un pliegue en una moda
podemos ser hilos en esta tela reconsumida nosotros también podemos ser  completamente-nuevos
&&
                                
            que haces             que eres
  como        entre    haces gustas           tal
            eres   que haces           haces

Not so much in doing something like translating books, which I do very much think need a native speaker of the target language who can understand how to genuinely and not literally translate certain parts of the book, or poems that sometimes hold importance in structure that cannot be done by just literal ...

Experiment 7

I decided to do a choose-your-own-adventure game, but was only able to do one scene with time constraints. I am debating whether to build off of it for my final project. http://philome.la/FillMorse/untitled
