Traducir el silencio / Translating Silence
Armando Romero
Translated from Spanish by Manuel Iris
Traducir el silencio / Translating Silence, by Armando Romero, is a Spanish poetry collection from Mexico, translated by Manuel Iris, published by ARTEPOETICA PRESS INC in 2018. It is a Mexican collection that makes translation itself the metaphor for approaching what resists speech. Romero's title is almost a poetics: not conquering silence, not explaining it away, but carrying some part of it into another register. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can begin working. Start with the title, the pressure of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. The value here is not just metadata or representation. It is the chance to let a particular book create its own weather, its own difficulty, and its own way of asking the reader to listen.
