A unique collaboration between poets from India and Wales is taking place in Aberystwyth this month. The British Council's Writers' Chain project is bringing together eight poets working in Welsh and a range of Indian languages for a translation workshop organised by Wales Literature Exchange.
Join us for dinner, listen to Manipuri, Bengali, Tamil and Malayalam and experience the linguistic alchemy of translation.
Nigel Jenkins, MC will introduce four Welsh poets including Eurig Salisbury, Hywel Griffiths, Karen Owen and the internationally renowned Menna Elfyn, will welcome four Indian poets: the literary legend from Kerala, K. Satchidanandan, the radical and outspoken young poet Meena Kandasamy, Mumbai-based Bengali poet Sampurna Chattarji and Robin Ngangom - a poet and editor from the North East of India.
Places are limited and we expect demand to be high.
Price: £20.00. (£20 (includes event, meal and wine))
