Event Description
Renowned poet Cecilia Vicuna will read from her work in the Temple University Creative Writing Program Poets and Writers Series. Cecilia Vicuna is a poet, visual artist and filmmaker born in Santiago de Chile. The author of twenty books of poetry, she exhibits and performs widely in Europe, Latin America and the United States. Her multidimensional works begin as a poem, an image or a line that morphs into a film, a song, a sculpture or a collective performance. She calls this impermanent, participatory work "lo precario" (the precarious), transformative acts or "metaphors in space" which bridge the gap between art and life, the ancestral and the avant-garde. She co-edited "The Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry" (2009). Her book "Chanccani Quipu", a quipu edition of 32 copies, is forthcoming from Granary Books in 2012. "Spit Temple: Selected Oral Performances of Cecilia Vicuña" is also forthcoming from Ugly Duckling Presse. |
