Muttertongue: what is a word in utter space by Lillian Allen (a dub poet, writer, and Juno Award winner), Gary Barwin (poet, writer, composer, multimedia artist, performer, and educator), and Gregory Betts (whose writing explores the boundaries between self, other, and alien – the radical other) is a collaborative collection that crackles in its exploration of land, language, and page space. Combining the intensity of Dub Poetry with the intricacies of experimental poetics, this collection presents a sonorous soundscape echoing with the question of where (and why) is here (hear).The book opens with a dialogue between the three authors, and concludes with an Afterword by Kaie Kellough. The release also coincides with a new music album by the three authors.
We chose our date because of the Spring Equinox, what better time to Come enjoy music, poetry, dub and connection. Exile in it's 50th year of publishing in Canada, is so proud to be launching this amazing collaborative poetry book. The event starts and ends with musical performances that are integral to the launch.
