Translation encompasses the whole of humanness, and, as indicated by C. S. Peirce, translation is interpretation. It involves the cognitive process in its entirety, which is based on the unconscious life force shared globally through the species. Synonymous with «untranslatability» in the challenging ambiguity, the generic unit named modernist poetry represents the potential of human activities as incessant translations. The interactive cognateness of translation and modernist poetry is clarified through this book on the purported untranslatability of the poems by the avant-gardists, in particular, Stéphane Mallarmé and T. S. Eliot. Modernism also accelerated the reformation of Japanese poetry, as is exemplified by a new genre modeled on Charles-Pierre Baudelaire’s poetry in prose. These inspiring texts direct the reader to re-create the world with their multidimensional growth of meanings. The translation of the verbal artifacts plays a key role to the sustainability of human beings, along with their conditions as a circular whole.
Noriko Takeda is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Hiroshima University. She received her PhD in comparative literature from the University of Toronto.

Eliot, and Yosano Akiko (Lang, 2000) and The Modernist Human: The Configuration of Humanness in Stéphane Mallarmé’s Hérodiade, T. S. Eliot’s Cats, and Modernist Lyrical Poetry (Lang, 2008).
