About the book
The book is a critical look at the life and works of Antigone Kefala, a poet and prose writer who came to the Antipodes in the early fifties and since 1960 calls Australia home. It comprises a selection of interviews, reviews and essays (previously published, or newly commissioned), giving a fascinating insight into this writer – originally a Greek from Romania. The book aims to stimulate a wide-ranging dialogue on the state of Australian literature and the place within it of writers like Antigone Kefala.
Antigone Kefala’s books include Absence: new and selected poems; The Island; Alexia; Summer Visit: three novellas; Sydney Journals and several others. Four of her works are available in bilingual editions.

Owl Publishing thanks the Greek-Australian Cultural League for offering the venue for the launch. Their annual exhibition of Greek-Australian artists titled “Antipodean Palette” will be on show during the launch.

AALITRA-logo-image-file1

The Australian Association for Literary Translation (AALITRA) now invites entries for the inaugural AALITRA Translation Prize.

The AALITRA Translation Prize aims to acknowledge the wealth of literary translation skills present in the Australian community. Two prizes will be awarded, one for a translation of a selected prose text, and another for a translation of a selected poem, with the focus on a different language each time the prize is offered.

In 2014, the focus language will be Spanish. The prose text for translation is “Antes del almuerzo” by Ana María Moix. The poetry text is “¿Somos un poema?” by José Luis Reina Palazón. Each text is available from our website.

Winners will be awarded a cash prize of $250, a book prize, and one year’s membership of AALITRA. The Awards Ceremony will be held in late September in Melbourne.

Winning entries will be read aloud at the Awards Ceremony, and will be published in the Association’s peer-reviewed open-access journal, The AALITRA Review.

Closing date: Friday 18 July 2014

The entry should be double-spaced in Times New Roman 12-point font, with the entrant’s name on each page. The cover sheet (available from our website) must be completed and included with the translation. Only electronic submissions in Microsoft Word or PDF format will be accepted.

Launch of Palace of Culture by Ania Walwicz

YzHUwBte7GA3q4cABZRlYhoJfAhpeSamF-SWFh9mbWkcAmapwS5EbugSSAy9xLI7bpH7Ut49Pd8uED0ZLpQEISG-AjptZ4lmXtCHKq-zIeXxhxSZ82c63zKWUSXoxErjv-nAAFv8MOXv_yw=s0-d-e1-ft

WHERE: La Mama Theatre, Faraday Street, Carlton, Melbourne

Palace of Culture is a dream diary, leading the reader into a personal and surreal engagement with the bewildering complexity of contemporary popular culture. Like her previous work Red Roses, Palace is a freewheeling work drawing the reader in to participate in its very construction. The layering of the oneiric on top of popular culture results in an intriguing interweaving of symbolic meanings (the notation and enactment of inner-states of feeling and being) with the arbitrary marketing decisions of our broader cultural stage. The language of Palace of Culture is not only the subject’s medium, but a source of revelation itself, a phantasm – something dreamt by its author and its reader, in the palace, at four a.m.

“Ania Walwicz’s work has always moved across genres, modes and registers, bringing self-reflexivity and metapoetics as material presences into the scene of the production, staging the subject in process, the subject in progress… Inspired by the great fabulists like Kafka and Dostoevsky [she] reactivates the avant-garde traditions from Stein, Joyce, Schwitters through the multiple lenses of psychoanalysis.”

Marion Campbell
