Eulalia Press Presents: Edith Adams, Laura Cesarco Eglin & Lauren Shapiro (Triple Book Launch)
Don’t miss this exciting, triple book launch at City of Asylum, celebrating new works from local indie press Eulalia Books. The launch will feature the translators of the three works, Edith Adams (Guerrilla Blooms), Laura Cesarco Eglin (The Mistaken Place of Things), and Lauren Shapiro (Waking in the Sahara), who will discuss the art and process of translation. The poets behind these translated works—Gabriela Aguirre Sánchez, Daniela Catrileo, and Zaira Pacheco—will join the discussion virtually to share their poetry and participate in the audience Q&A.
Eulalia Books publishes contemporary poetry from Latin America—specifically, by writers whose work has not yet appeared in a full-length English translation. They believe that poetry thrives outside the margins of privilege, and they love translators who work on the ground to find these books. Their full-length books introduce Latin American poets (writing in a variety of languages) to an English readership, while foregrounding the role of translators as artists and collaborators. Their letterpress chapbook series, focused on experimental translations and translingual writing, is dedicated to a vital discourse on translation, language/s, and translation poetics.
This program will be followed by a reception open to all attendees.
