SUMMARY:The Untranslateable in Poetry: a workshop
DESCRIPTION:In your recent holiday abroad\, what’s the foreign phrase that you’ve used or pondered about most? And isn’t it beautiful and mysterious that words like ‘light’ harbour so many meanings? \nJoin us on November 30th at 2pm-4pm in The Community Works for this exclusive one-off workshop where we will respond to writing prompts around traveling and the notions of foreign language(s). By giving new names to familiar objects\, sensations or emotions\, we are opening windows and feeling the breeze\, seeing the world in a new light. \nWe will also revisit some exquisite multilingual poems by poets Zeina Hashem Beck\, Jennifer Lee Tsai\, Natalie Linh Bolderston\, Kostya Tsolakis and more to explore new ways of playing with the different aspects of language(s) in poetry. \nThis workshop will be run by Jennifer Wong. Jennifer is the author of three collections including Letters Home (Nine Arches)\, Identity\, Home and Writing Elsewhere (Bloomsbury Academic) and a pamphlet\, time difference\, by Verve Poetry Press in 2024. She has a creative writing PhD from Oxford Brookes and has taught creative writing. She is working on her next collection. \nRegistration is required and tickets are in a tiered system\, based on what you can afford: £5 for general admission\, £2 concession\, or £10 for those able to give a bit more. The ticket cost shouldn’t be prohibitive to you attending\, so if you are unable to pay\, please email us at oxfordpoetrylibrary@gmail.com and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please register your spot here! \nThe Oxford Poetry Library is an accessible space but please do contact us in advance if you have specific requirements. You can email us about this or with any questions about the workshop at oxfordpoetrylibary@gmail.com
