How These Poems were Constructed
I cut and pasted various pieces of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution into Google Translator. After entering a piece of text, I then set about translating
it relentlessly through multiple languages. I typically translated a document 10-20 different times, never repeating any language during a single document’s translation process. I always began with the original English text, and always concluded in English to get the text you see here. Other than the final translation of each piece back into English, I never used English as a translating language during the process.
These documents went through the translation process only once. The poems you see here are the exact text produced on final translation back into English. The only modifications were some minor tweaking of punctuation, and approximating free verse by breaking lines of text.
