\"Laura_Marris_bio\"<\/a>We’re so excited for Laura Marris (Poetry ’13) whose translations are forthcoming this fall! \u00a0Laura traveled to France on her Global Fellowship in 2013, where she translated a book\u00a0by (and spent time with!) the Breton poet Paol Keineg. \u00a0Since then, she’s been hard at work on a few translations as well as her own poetry.\u00a0 We’re happy to be spreading the word about her upcoming readings, listed below:<\/p>\n

October 20th at 8pm, Molasses Books, Bushwick<\/a>
\nLaura will be reading with\u00a0writers\/translators David Larsen, Kyle Dacuyan, and Todd Portnowitz to celebrate the release of <\/span>BLOOD DARK<\/a>, which she\u00a0describes as “a creepy tale of patriotism gone wrong.” \u00a0Set in\u00a01917 during WWI, it tells the story of Cripure, a failed philosopher who teaches high school ethics. \u00a0 Richard Sieburth calls this character “a monstrous Ahab of the intellect suicidally in quest of his Nietzschean white whale.” \u00a0Intrigued? \u00a0Copies of the book will be on sale at the event!<\/span><\/p>\n

October 25th at 7pm, McCormack Family Theater, Brown University<\/a>
\nPaol Keineg and\u00a0Rosmarie Waldrop will be reading with Laura to\u00a0launch\u00a0<\/span>Triste Tristan and Other Poems<\/i><\/a>, a volume they co-translated. “Triste Tristan” knits\u00a0early medieval versions of “Tristan and Iseult” together with a demythologizing perspective that “takes down the pants of the lyrical tradition.” Other poems layer the landscapes of Brittany and America with meditations on history, writing, memory, and exile. These are the poems that Laura began translating on her\u00a0Global Fellowship! <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Print\"October 30th at 6pm, Columbia University Maison Fran\u00e7aise (Free with RSVP required)<\/a>
\nChristophe Boltanski will be reading from Laura’s translation of <\/span>THE SAFE HOUSE<\/a>, a novel about his formidable grandmother and his family’s mysterious house in Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations, Laura! \u00a0Break a leg at your readings\u00a0and we’re looking forward to your books!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
