In it, Chus Pato's Galician biopoetics of poet and nation, \u003ci\u003eSecession\u003c\/i\u003e - translated by Erín Moure - joins Moure's Canadian translational biopoetics, \u003ci\u003eInsecession.\u003c\/i\u003e To Pato, the poem is an insurrection against normalized language; to Moure, translation itself disrupts and reforms poetics and the possibility of the poem. In solidarity with Pato, Moure echoes Barthes: \"A readerly text is something I cannot re-produce (today I cannot write like Atwood); a writerly text is one I can read only if I utterly transform my reading regime. I now recognize a third text alongside the readerly and the writerly: let's call it the intranslatable.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSecession \/ Insecession, \u003c\/i\u003e a major European poet and a known Canadian poet, born on opposite sides of the Atlantic in the mid twentieth century and with vastly different experiences of political life, forge a 21st century relationship of thinking and creation.

Pato continues to refashion the way we think of the possibilities of poetic text, of words, bodies, political and literary space, and of the construction of ourselves as individual, community, nation, world. She brings us face to face with the traumas and migrations of Europe, with writing itself, and the possibility (or not) of poetry accounting for our animal selves. \u003ci\u003eSecession\u003c\/i\u003e is Pato's ninth book and her fourth to be translated into English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770222739744,"sku":"9781771660341","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/62cd86dacbb14639cc8daf48e161a12a.webp?v=1780367125","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/secession-insecession-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
