(No, Love Is Not Dead: An Anthology of Love Poetry from Around the World)

A talk and poetry reading from Poems from the Edge of Extinction: An Anthology of Poetry in Endangered Languages (Chambers, 2019). This groundbreaking book brings together 50 poems from each continent who are writing in their indigenous language. The book makes a powerful statement for the role that poetry can play in the face of language endangerment. Despite the claim from linguists that half of the world’s 7,000 languages will disappear by the end of the century, poets continue to speak and write poetry in their mother tongues, activating their languages through linguistic innovation. The book is a showcase for the importance of translation, as a document for poets in exile and through providing evidence of the link between language and biodiversity.

This talk and reading will focus on the languages and dialects of the UK that are included in the book: Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Manx and Scots. I will illustrate the talk with Readings from the book , as well as presenting my own poetry in my native Scouse dialect.
