This panel continues a conversation begun at last year’s festival, about how poets who read, write, and speak more than one language might use that facility in their own work, and what opportunities writing across languages might offer writer and reader alike. The panel will explore code-switching, translation, transcreation, doubled canons/literary heritages, and more. What possibilities become available when a poet has the resources of more than one language to draw upon? This panel will offer insights and lively conversation. Panelists Sia Figiel, Stacie Denetsosie, Michael Sowder, and Natasha Saje, moderated by Kim Johnson.
