Event Type
This roundtable discussion brings together a group of five poets and translators whose work mines essential questions about time, memory, speculation, and practices of correspondence. Critical questions guiding our conversation will include: how can we, as poets, operate as cronistas–chroniclers and correspondents across languages and historiographies? How do we activate the ethics of deep time in our correspondence with the dead? How do memory and the imaginal operate in poetry to create a space of confluence between our psychic and material realities? How do we attune to the nonhuman, the parahuman, and other orders of beings typically excluded from human discourse, and what alternate modes of communication can enable us to transmit those encounters?
