Writing Between Words and Silence: Vickie Vértiz
Join the Armory and Antena for our final cross-language poet-in-residence afternoon in the Caldwell Gallery with Vickie Vértiz. This drop-in activity is free and open to the public.
Read, write, and converse with writers whose work exists in the vibrant space between languages, and in the multiplicity of Englishes that populate Los Angeles poetics. Bring an empty notebook, questions about a particular piece of writing, and/or your desire to read in good company.
Antena's space in the exhibition Between Words and Silence: The Work of Translation contains hundreds of small- and tiny-press books and DIY editions with a focus on multilingual writing, texts in translation, and experimental writing in Spanish.
Vickie Vértiz is from Bell Gardens, California. Her book Palm Frond with Its Throat Cut will be published by The University of Arizona Press in October 2017.
