30 MAI, 14H30-16H30 Meet and hear MARTIN ESPADA. Un événement organisé par CREW (EA 4399), PRISMES (EA 4398), et le département du Monde Anglophone de l'Université Sorbonne Nouvelle.Organisateur/ices : Hélène Quanquin (CRAN/CREW), Clíona Ní Ríordáin (atelier POEM/PRISMES), Jim Cohen (CRAN/CREW), Hélène Le Dantec-Lowry (CRAN/CREW). Traducteurs/ices: Isabelle Genin, Yves Lefèvre, Tomás Pereira Ginet-Jaquemet. Contact : Hélène Quanquin (helene.quanquin@univ-paris3.fr) About Martín Espada

Martín Espada was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1957. He has been called “the Pablo Neruda of North American poets” by Sandra Cisneros. Espada is the author of almost twenty books as a poet, editor, essayist and translator. His latest collection of poetry from Norton is called Vivas to Those Who Have Failed (2016). Other books of poems include The Trouble Ball (2011), The Republic of Poetry (2006), Alabanza (2003), A Mayan Astronomer in Hell’s Kitchen (2000), Imagine the Angels of Bread (1996), City of Coughing and Dead Radiators (1993) and Rebellion is the Circle of a Lover’s Hands (1990). His many honors include the Shelley Memorial Award, the Robert Creeley Award, the National Hispanic Cultural Center Literary Award, an American Book Award, the PEN/Revson Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship. The Republic of Poetry was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. The title poem of his collection Alabanza, about 9/11, has been widely anthologized and performed. His book of essays, Zapata’s Disciple (1998), was banned in Tucson as part of the Mexican-American Studies Program outlawed by the state of Arizona, and will be reissued in a new edition this fall. A former tenant lawyer in Greater Boston’s Latino community, Espada is a professor of English at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. About Vivas to Those Who Have Failed. Poems (W.W. Norton, 2016) In this collection of new poems, Espada gives voice to the spirit of endurance in the face of loss, articulating the transcendent vision of another, possible world. The heart of the collection lies in a series of ten poems about the death of the poet’s father, one of Whitman’s “numberless unknown heroes.” “El Moriviví” uses the metaphor of a plant that grows in Puerto Rico and the meaning of its name—“I died/I lived”—to celebrate the many lives of Frank Espada, community organizer, civil rights activist and documentary photographer, from a jailhouse in Mississippi to the streets of Brooklyn. In mourning, the son lyrically imagines his father’s return to a bay in Puerto Rico: “May the water glow blue as a hyacinth in your hands.”Other poems confront collective grief, and Espada does not shy away from discussing recent tragedy. He meditates on some of our country’s darkest periods, including moments of shocking violence such as the shootings of Michael Brown and Walter Scott, among others, by police, and the execution of American journalist Jim Foley—a former student of the poet—by ISIS. In the wake of the killings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, “Heal the Cracks in the Bell of the World” urges us to “melt the bullets into bells.” Yet, the collection is not without humor; the poet also revels in the absurd, recalling his dubious “career” as a Shakespearean actor in a brawling company, finding madness and tenderness in the crowd at Fenway Park. Espada defiantly subverts the definition of “those who have failed.” AT:
