Who is Katie Farris?
Katie Farris is an American fiction writer, poet, translator, academic and editor.
Farris is the author of BOYSGIRLS, a hybrid form text, which has been lauded as “truly innovative”, “a tour de force”, and “a book with gigantic scope. At some points it reads like the book of Genesis; at others, like a dream-turned-nightmare. From the opening lines the author grabs you by the throat.”.
She is also the co-translator of Polina Barskova's "This Lamentable City" and Guy Jean's "If I Were Born in Prague". Farris won the 2012 DJS Translation Award from Poetry East/West for her co-translations in New Cathay: Contemporary Chinese Poetry, 1990-2012
Her other fiction, translations, and poetry have appeared in Virginia Quarterly Review, Western Humanities Review, The Literary Review, Verse, Indiana Review, Mid-American Review, Washington Square, Hayden's Ferry Review, The Brooklyn Rail and other journals. Her translations have also been widely anthologized in texts such as New European Poets and Penguin Book of Classical Russian Poetry.
