Friday 26, 10:30 - 11:15 (F- 209 Parlor G
6th Floor) F209—What Does Translation Give the Poet?
Khaled Mattawa, Annie Finch, Pierre Joris, Tony Barnstone. Poet-translators
discuss the links between their writing and translation. Panelists will reflect
on why they began translating, how their approaches to translation have changed,
and if these changes influenced or were influenced by their original texts.
They will also discuss the changes in their writing/translation techniques that
were necessary to render foreign texts into English. Panelists using intertextual
techniques will inform on writing strategies where translation is central to
the creation of original text.
Friday 26, 1-2:15 pm: F104—Antonin Artaud’s
“Poetics of Cruelty” for Contemporary Writers. Jamerson
Maurer, Clayton Eshleman, Judith E. Johnson, Pierre Joris, Aim Ali . Antonin
Artaud remains an extremely marginalized figure of Modernism. His theories on
a Theater of Cruelty, his poetry, and his performance art attempted to release
the “shadows” of life, and destroy the effigies causing the ills
of society. The panel will discuss Artaud from many points of view—translation,
performance art, poetics, modern-day influence, and the critical & theoretical
discourse on his work—and propose that contemporary writers find strong
transformative values in his poetics.
Friday 26, 7:30 p.m.: Poetry Reading organized
by Circumference magazine to protest the fact that “the
U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control recently declared

which include Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya and Cuba.” Delilah’s Bar,
2771 North Lincoln Avenue.
With: Jen Hofer, Pierre Joris, and Matthew Zapruder
reading their translations of poems, as well as poems in the original languages.
Christine Hume will read her homophonic translation featured in the first issue
of Circumference.
Saturday 27, 9 p.m: "Discrete Series" Poetry
Reading at 3030 West Cortland. With Jen Hofer, Cole Swensen, Ray Bianchi
