| description | This article examines the contributions of three contemporary Chilean women poets, Cecilia Vicuña, Anamaría Briede and Luna Montenegro to the UK Writers Forum and its Chilean counterpart, El Foro de Escritores. In the early 2000s, these groups produced two ongoing workshops that focused on poetic experimentation and performance and valued the oral over the written word. Entering into dialogue with Charles Bernstein’s analysis of the poetry reading, Erika Fischer-Lichte’s performative turn in the arts, and Joseph Roach theorization of performance and memory, this article unravels Chilean women’s poetics within a transnational context. It proposes that the value these women poets placed on aurality facilitated new engagement with Pre-Columbian cultures and languages as well as reconsiderations of the intimacy of the body and its linguistic representation. |
