Featured Performers
Hugh Thomas
Plunder dictionaries, rip verbs, detach language from its origins and birth it anew. Under the direction of homeolinguistic translation poet, Hugh Thomas, you will riff off languages you don’t know, erase whole lines from books, and cut the umbilical of authorship. Come prepared to undo all those years of “book smarts” and replace them with missed-understanding and a naughty need to tamper with someone else’s hard-earned words. Have a book on the shelf that you don’t understand? Bring it along and pilfer away!
