Collaborators’s Q&A: Artist MJ Levy Dickson: This project has been a joyful and thoughtful experience during a time of uncertainty. Translator Don Cellini: I am seduced by the wavy grey lines that form the background. Are they ridges to a mountain? The soggy paper bag in the poem? Poet Janil Uc Tun: [I am surprised by] the ability to build networks and bridges between different views of different geographies, which are empowered by the same starting point.
