&NOW Festival 2019

Screenshot from video. Shows my face with the words
Screenshot from the video I will be showing at the &NOW Festival, September 2019.
This year's &NOW Festival of Innovative Writing is held at the University of Washington, Bothell. I will be there on a panel on collaboration in translation. I will talk about my translation of Arash Allahverdi's ConQuest. What I am really looking forward to is ​the video I made to show after my talk. 

The video is my reading of the poem "Vertigo" from the ConQuest collection and tries to imitate the structure of the translated book (which will hopefully come out from co.im.press soon).

You can read Allahverdi's "Shitkilling" on Asymptote and his "Bleeding" PARAGRAPHITI. 

Here is a short description of my panel:

"How can translation be used in collaborative forms to go beyond spatial and geographical borders? Four panelists share their process of elevating narratives through multi-lingual partnerships."

You can read more here.  And here are two links to the festival schedule:

ALTA COnference Panel (After)

11/3/2018

I talked about how my translation of Arash Allahverdi's book of poetry, Conquest, ConQuest, started as "normal" and ended up with a nonconventional structure. It was a well attended panel. All of my thirty handouts were gone and still some attendants did not get one. 

Thank you to Johannes Göransson, and Steve Halle (from co•im•press) for sharing their photos and thanks to everyone who came to the panel.

Fantastic panel at #ALTA41 of @coimpress translators about new books. An outrageously good group of books from Iran, Brazil (Hilda Hilst's poems!) and Argentina. Cannot wait to read. Also an impressive interpreter. pic.twitter.com/3OFE0f86Mc

 I will be on a panel to talk about my upcoming translation of Arash Allahverdi's book of poetry, Conquest. I will be talking about how the translation changed from a "normal" work that tried to locate itself towards the domesticated end of the foreignness spectrum to a translation with lots of marginalia, one that tries to make visible what's behind the process. 
​
I will be handing out one of the poems from the collection, printed and bound as a nice, little booklet.

My panel is titled "The Beautiful Side of Strange: co•im•press Translators and their Conundrums." It will be held on Friday, November, 2, 
in the Redbud room. Learn more about the conference here: http://www.literarytranslators.org/conference/alta41.
