Biographies, in particular, are major critical sources and should not be erased.

A poem from ten years ago, first appearing in Horse Less Press:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=yIpv...
Hanging chad question of my 2025 is this, how can we help English translation as a field & English translators as artists to stop acting in colonial-style erasure? & with that, related, to stop fronting sanctimonious & sacrificial? I ask this of us all & take seriously my status in the conversation.

Next Tuesday, December 16th, @parisheretics.bsky.social will celebrate their 5-year anniversary. I was so pleased to work with them on Loving Tallulah Bankhead. Hope you’ll turn out for the event at Point Éphémère, for radical love and several helpings of heresy! (Below poster by Lucas Lecacheur)

Mercredi prochain, je participerai à une réflexion collective sur les écrivaines de la précarité. Je présenterai à cette occasion ma recherche sur l’œuvre d’Hélène Bessette, et en particulier les idées formelles qui se cristallisent dans Ida ou le délire (1973). www.fabula.org/actualites/1...

Carrie Chappell reading Hélène Bessette’s Histoire du chien
Really pleased to have a new poem @pamenarpress.bsky.social. I wrote a longish post about it on Instagram, my personal relationship with the accordance/discordance of the French "frôle" with the English "fondle." As ever, talking to the work of Hélène Bessette: www.pamenarpress.com/post/carrie-...
