Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus: IN VIVID DENSITY

Lördag den 13 maj och söndagen den 14 maj kommer sex framträdande poeter och författare från Kanada – Lisa Robertson, Kaie Kellough, Cecily Nicholson, Jordan Abel, Gail Scott och Michael Nardone – på inbjudan av OEI till Stockholm för uppläsningar, introduktioner, samtal, bokreleaser och utbyten på Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus respektive Rönnells Antikvariat.

”IN VIVID DENSITY — rhythms re-rendered — a palimpsest of positionality — syntactical affect — the germinal possibility of rupturing received genres — de-appropriation — the question of a common ground – luminous particulars.”
