Oana Avasilichioaei

Eight Track (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Poet and intermedia artist Oana Avasilichioaei's Eight Track is a transliterary exploration of traces. Sound recordings, surveillance cameras, desert geoglyphs, drone operators, refugee interviews, animal imprints, and audio signals manifest moments of inspired wonder, systems of power, slippages, debris. In "the great era of seeing" when the boundary between tracking agent and monitored subject is worn thin by politics and commerce, Eight Track assembles a set of discordant melodies, polyphonic voices, transcriptions, theatres, and images in a struggle to hold on to agency and awe. Stirring from languages of oppression to languages of resistance, Eight Track echolocates the nameless, the noisy, the scattered, and the voiceless. This is ultimately a book of relations-of each of us to each other, to other life forms, to environments, to cultures, to the obsolete and the absolute, to the animal vitality we share.

Autorenporträt

Oana Avasilichioaei interweaves poetry, sound, performance, photography, and translation to expand and trouble ideas of language, histories, polyphonic structures, and borders of listening. She has published six collections of poetry hybrids, including Eight Track (Talonbooks, 2019, finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award and A. M. Klein Prize for Poetry) and Limbinal (Talonbooks, 2015), created many performance/sound works that mix electronics, ambient textures, noise, and vocal play, and written a libretto for a one-act opera Cells of Wind (FAWN, 2022). She has also translated many books of poetry and prose from French and Romanian, including Martine Desjardins's Medusa (Talonbooks, 2022), Catherine Lalonde's The Faerie Devouring (Book*hug 2018, QWF's Cole Foundation Prize for Translation), and Bertrand Laverdure's Readopolis (Book*hug, 2017, Governor General's Literary Award for Translation).
