AX is pleased to welcome Arianne Des Rochers, Jo-Anne Elder, shalan joudry, and Sonia Malaborza to the gallery for an AX Literary Series first—The Art of Translation. These four prolific translators will be joined by moderator and poet Vanessa Moeller to discuss the relationship between the translator and the author, and the translated text as a piece of creative writing. The translators will each read an excerpt from their work, and will then take questions from the audience.
There will be a bookseller on hand, and sales and book signings will take place after the even
On Saturday, February 18, join us for a hybrid memoir writing workshop with poet Sina Queyras.
Never write alone and yet be only yourself. Write with form, with constraints, but find your own shape; your own relationship to constraints. Good writing usually has two qualities: intense familiarity and surprise. A good sentence often changes direction completely midway through. In the sea of language sometimes all one needs to do is steer into the swell. In this workshop we’ll discover tactics for weathering.
Sina Queyras is the author of the poetry collections My Ariel (2017), MxT (2014), Expressway (2009), Lemon Hound (2006), and most recently, Rooms: Women, Writing, Woolf (2022), all from Coach House Books.
