==========================================================

Cosima Bruno. Between the Lines: Yang Lian's Poetry through Translation.
Leiden and Boston: Brill. 2012.

In Between the Lines Cosima Bruno illustrates how the study of translation
can enhance our experience of reading poetry. By inquiring into the mutual
dependence of the source text and its translation, the study offers both
theoretical insights and methodological tools that bring in-depth
stylistic analysis to bear on the translations as against the originals.
Through such a process of discovery, Cosima Bruno elaborates a textual
exegesis of the work by Yang Lian, one of the most translated, and
critically acclaimed contemporary Chinese poets.

This book thus reconciles the theory-practice divide in translation
studies, as well as helps to dismantle the lingering Eurocentrism still
present in the discipline.
