Mistranslations from a Future Vernacular is a poetry collection that asks āHow many times can you rewrite a poem?ā Using the experimental techniques of the Oulipo group and more allegedly modern technologies, Daryl Lim rewrites a poem over and over again, to exhaustion, exhilaration, and states in between. Daryl collages text. He shadow-boxes with LLMs. He paints. He translates profanely. This boundaryless, genre-bending journey mixes up the signifier and the signified, the source and the target. Buckle up.
