I am thrilled to be part of this year's New Orleans Poetry Festival. The schedule of events is jam packed with exciting readings, panels and book tables. Here is a link to the entire schedule: http://www.nolapoetry.com/2018Schedule

Dara Wier , Jennifer K. Dick , Susan M. Schultz
Our Lunch Features include a free catered lunch with poetry performances

Then later that same afternoon: PANEL TALK
- Otherness/Self/Migration in 21st Century Poetic Practice: Sat, 04/21/2018 - 15:05
Jennifer K. Dick , Diana E.H. Shortes , Lisa Pasold
What is it to be international in
spirit? Or a poet-citizen of a single country? We live in constant
interconnectedness with people, images, news and environmental changes
from across the globe. So what is the real geolocation of a poetry and
poetics of place and self? Three poets from different parts of the
American continent will address this question: Jennifer K Dick from Iowa,
USA, residing in Mulhouse, France—a border town with Germany
and Switzerland—Lisa Pasold from Montréal, Canada, residing currently
in Paris, France, and Diana Shortez born in Austin, TX and residing in
New Orleans. In this panel, they will address how their own work, and that
of the poets they are reading, is not of or about place but which
inherently in its explorative narratives and practices interrogates
place/self and otherness. This position demands linguistic strangeness,
from single words, sound / lyric elements to entire passages in languages
that are not English, even when creating for an American audience. How do
we write out of unrootedness?
