Summary:
Nico Vela Page’s ''Americón'' is a collection of poems in Spanglish that weaves a space for the queer, trans body to know the land, and itself, as extensions of each other. The land is the desert of Northern New Mexico, the forgotten Pan-American Highway, the space between our thighs, the quaking cordillera of Chile, the moans of elk, and the ripe fruit waiting to be(...)

Summary:
Nico Vela Page’s ''Americón'' is a collection of poems in Spanglish that weaves a space for the queer, trans body to know the land, and itself, as extensions of each other. The land is the desert of Northern New Mexico, the forgotten Pan-American Highway, the space between our thighs, the quaking cordillera of Chile, the moans of elk, and the ripe fruit waiting to be picked. Through archive, attention, and erotic ecopoetics, Page’s debut collection of poems extends far across the page, the gender binary, language, and the Americas to find out who we are by asking where we are.

Summary:
This publication documents a series of workshops and conversations hosted by Wendy’s Subway and organized by English-Arabic bilingual magazine Makzhin editor Mirene Arsanios on questions of formative literary influences. Three female Arab writers were invited to choose and discuss ten books that shaped their understanding of poetry and translation. Notwithstanding the difficulty of the task, Marwa Helal, Mona Kareem, and Iman Mersal played along, selecting—among a sea of influences—authors and/or translators whose works were key to their own practice, and to their embodied understanding of what it means to write in Arabic from a female perspective. Asking what kind of writings are/were available to them, and which books or translations unseated their understanding of the world, Helal, Kareem, and Mersal discuss writing within the diaspora and across borders, radical publishing and translation networks, cultural and linguistic translation, vernacular language as resistance, and more.

Summary:
Sky Hopinka's ''Perfidia'' moves within the textured landscape of memory, both personal and collective, to address the founding colonial violence of the United States and its lasting impact. In a series of cantos, the book-length poem surfaces a first-person narrative amidst the stream of history and its accounting through the voices of ancestors and kin. Shifting registers between the embodied and the spiritual, ''Perfidia's'' subjective syntax destabilizes entrenched colonial perspectives and concomitant descriptions of land, sky, sea, myth, place, and personhood.

Summary:
Aigi’s journey into the mythical world of the Sami people starts with a race for the first ray of sunlight of the New Year, and continues with a plunge into the mythical Saivo realm to search for a childhood friend. On the journey, for those who know, the knowledge of beings such as the gobmi, skammaidas and other mythical creatures will surely be needed. ''Fathoms of the fenlake'' is a ground-breaking fantasy story: strong ties to nature, full of resourcefulness and courage, along with mystical powers have always been present in the Sami culture. The Aigi-saga draws from that legendary folklore.

Summary:
"Tout tableau, tout dessin d’Henri Matisse possède une vertu qu’on ne peut toujours identifier, mais qui est une force véritable. Et c’est la force de l’artiste de ne point la contrarier, de la laisser agir. Si l’on devait comparer l’oeuvre d’Henri Matisse à quelque chose, il faudrait choisir l’orange. Comme elle, l’oeuvre d’Henri Matisse est un fruit de lumière éclatante. Avec une entière bonne foi et un pur souci de se connaître et de se réaliser, ce peintre n’a cessé de suivre son instinct. Il lui laisse le soin de choisir entre les émotions, de juger et de limiter la fantaisie et celui de scruter profondément la lumière, rien que la lumière." Guillaume Appollinaire

Carte du monde et carte du tendre, cette Mappemonde, nécessairement lacunaire, répertorie quelques-unes des coordonnées mystérieuses où les méridiens et les parallèles de notre Terre entrecoupent les lignes d’univers de la fiction. Entre la réinvention du passé, les évidences du présent, et le bruissement des possibles, et en entremêlant mon histoire personnelle à une mythique littérature universelle, je vous convie à une réflexion sur la façon dont la littérature contribue à l’amplification de notre spectre temporel, et à la découverte de fréquences émotives étrangères, dont nous ne pouvons qu’espérer qu’elles nous acheminent de plus en plus près de nous-mêmes
