Calico: New Selections in Translation

Sponsored by Center for the Art of Translation

Co-presented by Two Lines Press

Celebrate what literature can be and what literature can do, with readings from an incredible range of work featured in two new editions of the Calico series (Two Lines Press). This Is Us Losing Count is a new bilingual edition of eight contemporary Russian poets and seven translators that demonstrates a refusal to accept the structural or moralizing conventions of the past. Visible showcases six genre-defying works from around the world that raise questions about the relationship between how we see, how we read, and how we write in “the age of the calligram.” With Elina Alter, Eric Fishman, Il’ia Karagulin, and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez.
