TUESDAY NOVEMBER 26th at West Greenwich Library, 7pm (doors open at 6.45)
BETWEEN LANGUAGES – an evening with poets who write in English while English is not their native language – with Natan Barreto, Isabel Bermudez, Farah Naz and Kostya Tsolakis.
What are the internal processes that allow poetic expression of such beauty and meaning in a language that is not native? Is there a ‘shadow language’ lurking somewhere? Or does that language leave the shadows and becomes light? As bilingual (though not technically) myself, I find the concept both important and intriguing. I know that our journeys into the English language are bound to be very different and I am looking forward to a conversation about it after what promises to be great and diverse readings.
A FREE event as always, with books for sale and refreshments galore…
