AWP 2023 | Object Lesson: Activating Material Intelligence
What happens when learning in the creative writing classroom shifts frommental effort (craft talk, workshop) toward a sequence of embodied,sensory-rich experiences? When we situate students within the expansive, interconnected web of art-based approaches, what new modes of making become possible? Our panelists discuss the meaningful discoveries that emerge when, as writers, we are invited to explore materials such as scents,textiles, photographs, and objects to round out a holistic practice.
Panelists: Sheryda Warrener, Cynthia Arrieu-King, Heather Jessup, and Silvina López Medin.
Friday March 10, 2023 9 am PST
British Centre for Literary Translation | University of East Anglia
How do publishers acquire titles to translate? What are their greatest challenges? What advice do they have for translators whether at the pitching stage, translation, editing, publicity, and beyond? What are their expectations of translators at each of these stages? This panel hopes to shed light on the decision processes editors go through when considering a title for translation, as well as to clarify what is the translator’s role when bringing the book into English.
Joining us we will be Dedalus Books (UK), Silvina López Medin from Ugly Duckling Presse (USA), Dzekashu Macviban from Bakwa Books (Cameroon), and Kirsten Chapman from Pushkin Press (UK). Moderated by Sawad Hussain, co-chair of the Translator’s Association (UK).

The Poetry Project | Virtual Reading | Ari Banias & Silvina López Medin
Memory and lyric are mutually surfaced and recomposed in recent work from Ari Banias and Silvina López Medin. Crossings, loops, accretions, and erosions complicate and stretch the poets' narratives of family, self, and place. In their different embraces of flicker and indeterminacy, both writers raise the ineffable to the meniscus of perception.
