Panel
Trans Poetics
Sunday 19 April, 09:30 - 10:30
The Wheeler Centre
Poetry is a form that lends itself to fluidity and challenging the confines of the page. How, then, might a trans lens go about this queering of language in a way that serves both the form and an ideological desire to transform? In this session, Hasib Hourani (rock flight) unpacks poetry as a site for linguistic play with panellists Kaya Ortiz (Past & Parallel Lives), Jazz Money (mark the dawn), Ellen Van Neerven (Personal Score), and Rae White (Exactly As I Am).
