We talk with Philip Metres about his upcoming award winning book of translated poems: “Ochre and Rust: New Selected Poems of Sergey Gandlevsky.” Russian Literature as homeland, (self-)imposed exile, close readings, mothers, slant rhyme being cooler than direct end rhyme, retweeting Walter Benjamin, the deficit model of translation, and the music of language.
