Earlier this year when we first translated Adelaide Ivánova the PTC workshop was dazzled by the breadth of references in her work; everything from Portuguese battleships to song lyrics by Nirvana was part of her rich mix. Francisco Vilhena returns with more poems by this talented poet and artist. Award-winning poet Clare Pollard will be facilitating.
There is no need to know the language being translated, just come along!
