VideoBardo at Bristol Poetry Institute with Liberated Words

​I was first invited to present a paper and screening at VideoBardo in 2012, and when Lucy and I first formed Liberated Words it was important to me to establish a special link with them. Since then I have been trying to get them to to the UK to talk about video poetry in Argentina and Latin America. I now have great pleasure in announcing that Marisol Bellusci (and via Skype director Javier Robledo) from VideoBardo will be in discussion with myself, in Bristol, on the 12th of February, 6–7.30.  The event is hosted by Bristol Poetry Institute and has kindly been made possible by Dr Rebecca Kosick, lecturer in the School of Modern Languages at Bristol University. We are also indebted to the patient and wonderful videopoet Lucia Sellars, who has held the event together with her excellent translation of sometimes complex themes.
