![Language Under Occupation
Evelyn Araluen reflected, I had all the theory in the world to explain the logics of our erasure, the violence of our replacements, and our more palatable Others. [...] But no one ever asked how we were both colonised by and inheritors of these words โ from โTo the Poetsโ, Dropbear (2021).
They traced the contours of language, sought out its limits, and pushed against them. Histories were cut up, struck through, misplaced, and misremembered. Evelyn Araluen, Hasib Hourani, and Mykaela Saunders engaged in a conversation about the careful craft of ripping the empireโs language to shreds. In their work, these brilliant writers shifted form in myriad ways; they rendered nonlinear temporalities and introduced new vocabularies. They wielded opacities while sharing the dearest of intimacies. Thinking through poetry and prose, language and craft, these three writers shared the shape of a language unsettled.
