Hi, we are launching Lostlingual, a book of poems by Dinara Rasuleva. It is the first volume of the sdvig series at Rab-Rab Press, dedicated to translingual avant-garde writing. In this collection, Rasuleva, a Berlin-based poet, returns to Tatar, the language of her childhood. She had used it only rarely as an adult, and never before as a creative writer—the national language of her people, smothered by Russian colonialism. She sets herself the goal of composing poetry in Tatar as she remembers it, without consulting dictionaries and grammars. The result is a collection of fragile and liberatory translingual poems, in which Tatar, English, German, and Russian call out, respond to, and transform one another.
