Explore the effects of living, and writing, between multiple languages. In this workshop we will explore the feeling of inhabiting two (or more) languages and how living between them affects poetic sensibilities.
In this course we will consider how various poets enrich the traditions in which they work through their bilingualism and dual belonging, including reading poems by Sandra Cisneros, George Szirtes, Sujata Bhatt, Kamala Das, Shailja Patel, and Solmaz Sharif, plus many more.
We shall also attempt to write poems and fragments about these sweet and strange encounters.
