Francis, Vievee
- Abstract
The author discusses events at the 2011 Callaloo Conference where the acts of translation made a personal impact on her and how it changed the way she looks at scholars and creative writers. She tells the lesson she learned about the language of the body in poetry reading. She describes how she used Ben Patterson's "Paper Piece" to collapse the notions of hierarchy and division in and between artistic practice and study. She shares her experience of meeting writer Robert Farris Thompson.
