“To celebrate the publication of D.M. Bradford’s English translation of Nicholas Dawson’s heralded Désormais, ma demeure, writer H Felix Chau Bradley gathers Bradford alongside author Nicholas Dawson and translator-editor Erín Moure for a conversation on the work that went into House Within a House, a book that weaves prose poetry, essay, autobiography and photography in mutual contamination to relate Dawson’s experience with depression—a state never fully gone, always cohabitant.” Full info here.

A reading by Mohammadi and du Plessis
G is a sound. Phonetically, it is represented as [χ]—and corresponds to خ in the Arabic alphabet—a guttural resonance shared between Afrikaans and Persian. Poets Klara du Plessis and Khashayar “Kess” Mohammadi composed G collaboratively as an act of hospitality into their languages and now they will read through the entire translingual collection, activating the playful linguistic connections and shifts.
