LitFest 2025: Indigenous Language Acts with Erin Marie Lynch & Julian Talamantez Brolaski

In this program, Indigenous authors Julian Talamantez Brolaski and Erin Marie Lynch explore Indigenous language and ways of languaging in conversation with Eulalia Books founding editor Michelle Gil-Montero. This dynamic discussion will traverse hybrid and experimental poetic forms and translation as a means of both language preservation and play. It will also inspect the various meanings and possibilities of translation, tackling the translation of native language to English; the translation of oral, anti-disciplinary language forms to the page;  and the translation of what can’t be, or is not meant to be written, into writing.
