Rilke Shake

Rilke Shake
By:Angélica Freitas
Published on 2015 by Phoneme Media

Rilke Shake's title, a pun on milkshake, means in Portuguese just what it does in English. With frenetic humor and linguistic innovation, Angélica Freitas constructs a temple of delight to celebrate her own literary canon. In this whirlwind debut collection, first published in Portuguese in 2007, Gertrude Stein passes gas in her bathtub, a sushi chef cries tears of Suntory Whisky, and Ezra Pound is kept |insane in a cage in pisa.| Hilary Kaplan's translation is as contemporary and lyrical as the Portuguese-language original, a considerable feat considering the collection's breakneck pace. WINNER OF THE 2016 BEST TRANSLATED BOOK AWARD! WINNER OF THE 2016 NATIONAL TRANSLATION AWARD! FINALIST FOR THE 2016 PEN POETRY TRANSLATION PRIZE! |No fabled saudade here, but the sound of an ocarina underwater in the Orinoco.| --Paul Hoover |Wry, painfully funny and moving, Kaplan's translation captures the formal invention and deadpan beauty of the original perfectly.| --Sasha Dugdale
