Our fiftieth book is a bilingual colloquy on three central issues: design, translation, and the shifting relationship of our disciplines to matters of visual association. Three voices—an artist, a writer, and then a collective “designer”—wrestle within the form of a book to characterize the complexity of communicating with one another. After working together in various capacities and places, Bill Kelly—as a writer in this case—and Miya Hannan—as an image maker in a number of disciplines—made a decision to join words and images together to explore their nodding heads of appreciation on the topic of birds. Three Poems Disrupting a Language is an exploration of their very different origins and methods of form making, and is a manifestation of the intricacies of collaboration.
