This is translation as critique and renewal, a classic modernist project. Hoffman's poems are like a palimpsest or lithography stone on which traces of a previous drawing have survived. We are witnesses to the presence of a negotiation, the negotiation of a presence. \u003ci\u003eThe Transparent Eye\u003c\/i\u003e is the latest manifestation of Hoffman's restless and manifold creativity, a creativity Emerson himself would have saluted. He would not have been counting the spoons. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnthony Rudolf\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eZigzag\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSilent Conversations\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEric Hoffman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous books of poetry including \u003ci\u003eForms of Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBy the Hours\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe American Eye\u003c\/i\u003e.
