Art as Forma Vitae: to use, not to possess
Poet, translator and essayist Erín Moure is a Canadian who writes across the borders of languages and cultures. She has published 17 books of poetry in English and Galician/English, and 13 volumes of poetry translated from French, Spanish, Galician and Portuguese into English, by poets such as Nicole Brossard, Andrés Ajens, Louise Dupré, Rosalía de Castro, Chus Pato and Fernando Pessoa. Moure’s work has received the Governor General's Award, Pat Lowther Memorial Award, A.M. Klein Prize, and has been three-times a finalist for the Griffin Prize. Her latest work is Insecession, an autobiography and poetics that echoes Chus Pato’s biopoetics Secession; both books appeared as one book from BookThug in 2014. She is also translating Chus Pato’s Carne de Leviatán into English as Flesh of Leviathan, to appear in 2016 from Omnidawn, and her bilingual French/English play-poem-cabaret Kapusta, a sequel to The Unmemntioable, will appear from Anansi in 2015. Moure lives in Montreal, and is currently in Vancouver as writer in residence at Green College at UBC, working on a new book of poems called The Elements.
An essay by Erín Moure accompanies the exhibition senselikeblueplace, currently on view at Trianon Gallery until January 31, 2015.
