Invitation

Friends of poetry!

The Fredricton Chapter of the Ibero-American Academy of Poetry invites you cordially to the launch of the bilingual collection of poetry by local Latino-Canadian author Nela Rio, exquisitely translated into French by Jill Valéry and published by Fredericton’s own Broken Jaw Press: En las noches que desvisten otras noches Durant les nuits qui déshabillent d’autres nuits. This launch will take place at the Fredericton Public Library, 12 Carleton St. in Fredericton, on Saturday, Nov. 20th, 2010 at 2 p.m. There will be a bilingual reading of a few poems from the collection. This collection contains poems dedicated to the all the women who have suffered violence and cruelty, whatever the cause. Canadian writer George Elliott Clarke has said about the collection that “Rio is a feminist successor to great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda” and Broken Pencil magazine deemed the English edition “A stark...moving work about the political torture of women. These intimate and plainspoken poems are ‘screams smothered/ in raucous laughter of the one in power’.” For more information on the book visit: http://www.brokenjaw.com/catalog/pg113.htm or http://www.brokenjaw.com/catalog/pg81.htm. See you on Saturday!
