i mean i dislike that fate that i was made to where, by Uljana Wolf and translated by Sophie Seita from German, brings German poetry into English through Uljana Wolf’s grammar of fate, gendered sound, and the strange political life of small linguistic substitutions. The metadata gives the reader a doorway, but the real value is what happens once the poem begins making its own weather. I would read it for fate, grammar, gender, and the disobedient music of a line that refuses correct behavior, not as a fixed lesson about a nation, period, or school. The best entry point is still the poem itself: the line that catches, the image that refuses to explain itself, the feeling that arrives before paraphrase. i mean i dislike that fate that i was made to where belongs in the translated poetry library because it gives contemporary German poetry a linguistically radical and feminist edge.
