This event will feature readings from No, Love Is Not Dead: An Anthology of Love Poetry from Around the World, edited by Chris McCabe. Chris will be in conversation with contributor and special guest the poet, writer, librettist, scholar of Indigenous American Literature and Navajo Nation Poet Laureate, Laura Tohe.
No, Love Is Not Dead is a timely affirmation of the great linguistic diversity of poetry and its ability to express passionate love, the most extreme of human emotions. With influential, award-winning poets including Kim Hyesoon, Laura Tohe and Warsan Shire, and languages ranging from Amharic, Akkadian and Ancient Greek to Yankunytjatjara, Yiddish and Yoruba, this unique anthology engages the reader in reflective tales of unlikely love stories and impossible love, love in a time of politics, surrealist love, visual love and free love, offering an intuitive insight into both historical and present-day perceptions of love across cultures.
Including over 50 poets, writing on each of the world's continents, this anthology of poems about love features a diverse range of original poems written in a variety of languages - modern, ancient, endangered and constructed - accompanied by English translations and commentaries.
