Writing the Environment

Pre­sent­ed by the Asso­ci­a­tion of Eng­lish-Lan­guage Pub­lish­ers of Que­bec, this dia­log­ic per­for­mance of poet­ry in Eng­lish, French, and trans­la­tion will imag­ine writ­ing the envi­ron­ment. Fea­tur­ing Kaie Kel­lough and Chan­tal Neveu, it will embody lan­guage in its rela­tion to land and space, and reflect on poetry’s rad­i­cal stance towards a sus­tain­able future.
