Beatriz Hausner: A Poet Seeking Freedom
Description
In this second episode about Trois-Rivières' poetry festival, we meet Beatriz Hausner. Beatriz has been to the Festival before, and she talks about what makes it special. Her conversation with host Julie Miller ranges from talking about poetry to how she discovered it, about freedom and what inspires her, and about why she writes in English although her mother tongue is Spanish. Besides her work in poetry, Beatriz also organizes poetry events, edits a poetry journal, and translates Spanish language poets into English. In the past, she worked as a librarian, and has been the president of the Literary Translators Association of Canada. Her most recent collection of poetry is called "Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart" and was published in 2020 by Book*hug Press. https://beatrizhausner.com/about
