Praise for Some Kind of Beautiful Signal:
"Not only is it printed multilingually (which I love as a reader), but it includes as many as fifteen different languages, including Zapotec and Uyghur! We here at The Paris Review offer a hearty congratulations to Wimmer and Yang for their hard work."
—The Paris Review
"The latest issue, Some Kind of Beautiful Signal, which the Center for the Art of Translation kindly sent me, is full of good things. . . there's a whole section of Uyghur poetry . . . and more stuff from Russian, translations from Chinese, Spanish, Urdu, Persian . . . And the physical object is beautifully designed and typeset."
