The Translator awaits Transport. Their Memory will be Cleaned, and they will be Harmonized. Only poetry can save them, even when they cannot be saved. Join David Martin to launch his new poetry collection Limited Verse. David will be joined in conversation by Colin Martin, writer, teacher, educator, and current WGA President, to discuss David’s myriad inspirations, from linguist C.K. Ogden to the work of George Orwell and Jorge Luis Borges, the challenges of translating the Western literary canon, the multi-generational urge to simplify the English language into something sensical, and more. Book signing to follow.

Colin Martin is a writer, teacher, and editor in Calgary/Mokhinstsis and the current president of the Writer’s Guild of Alberta
