In what will likely be this podcast's final episode, Mike Meginnis interviews distinguished translator Jennifer Feeley, who, at the time of this conversation, had recently published translations of the books Tongueless, by Lau Yee-Wa, and Mourning a Breast, by Xi Xi. We very much appreciate her taking the time for this conversation, and regret our delays in making it public. Say the World: An International Writing Podcast is made by the International Writing Program. The host is IWP Communications Coordinator Mike Meginnis, most recently the author of DROWNING PRACTICE (Ecco, 2022). This podcast is ending, at least for now, because Mike's position has been eliminated due to the loss of funding announced at iwp.uiowa.edu/announcement-iwp. Fortunately, Mike has found other work. He hopes you will consider reading his books, now and in the future.

Today's guest is Japanese poet and 2023 Fall Residency writer Yasuhiro Yotsumoto. We discussed Yotsumoto's time in the U.S., his retreat from and return to writing poetry, his relationship to translation, the loneliness of life in contemporary Japan and more generally, several of his favorite writers, his time at IWP, and his thoughts regarding this period of his career. Yotsumoto reads three of his poems; English translations are provided for two of them.   Bio: Yasuhiro Yotsumoto (poet, translator, essayist, editor; Japan) is the author of more than 15 poetry collections, including STARBOARD OF MY WIFE (translated into English by Takako Lento) and several volumes of poetry translations and anthologies, including DANTE MEETING LI PO. His poetry has garnered him an Ayukawa Nobuo and a Hagiwara Sakutaro award, among others. After 30+ years in the U.S. and Germany, Yasuhiro recently moved his home base to Tokyo, where he teaches poetry, organizes poetry events, and contributes poetry criticism.

The award-winning French Algerian American playwright, librettist and activist, Catherine Filloux, has been, for the past 3 decades, traveling to conflict areas writing plays that address human rights and social justice.             Catherine's new play, “How to Eat an Orange,” will open at La MaMa Theatre in New York City, and her new musical “Welcome to the Big Dipper” (written with composer Jimmy Roberts of, “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change” fame) will premiere Off-Broadway at the York Theatre in New York. It's a National Alliance for Musical Theatre finalist.             Catherine's play, “White Savior” is nominated for The Venturous Play List. Her many plays have been produced around the U.S. and internationally. I've read her play Lemkin's House and can tell you it's an intense and engaging exploration of the politics of genocide through the surreal landscape of the mind of Raphael Lemkin, the man who invented the word genocide.            Catherine's also the librettist for four produced operas, including New Arrivals, Where Elephants Weep, and The Floating Box. Her works have been played on Cambodian national TV, on Broadway on Demand, and chosen for Opera News Critic's Choice. And her opera, “Orlando,” is the winner of the 2022 Grawemeyer Award--the first opera by a woman composer and woman librettist in the history of the Vienna Staatsoper.             Catherine has traveled for her plays to countries including Bosnia, Cambodia, Guatemala, Haiti, Iraq, Morocco, Northern Ireland, and Sudan and South Sudan on an overseas reading tour with the University of Iowa's International Writing Program.             Catherine received her French Baccalaureate in Philosophy with Honors in Toulon, France, and is the co-founder/co-director of Theatre Without Borders.

M. G. Vassanji was born in Kenya and raised in Tanzania. Before coming to Canada in 1978, he attended MIT and the University of Pennsylvania, where he specialized in theoretical nuclear physics. From 1978-1980 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Atomic Energy of Canada, and from 1980 to 1989 he was a research associate at the University of Toronto. During this period he developed a keen interest in medieval Indian literature and history, co-founded and edited a literary magazine (The Toronto South Asian Review, later renamed The Toronto Review of Contemporary Writing Abroad), and began writing stories and a novel. In 1989, with the publication of his first novel, The Gunny Sack, he was invited to spend a season at the International Writing Program of the University of Iowa. That year ended his active career in nuclear physics. Vassanji is the author of six novels and two collections of short stories. He has won the Giller Prize, twice; the Harbourfront Festival Prize; the Commonwealth First Book Prize (Africa); the Bressani Prize and the Order of Canada.   We met at the Blue Met Writers Festival in Montreal to talk about his most brief biography of Mordecai Richler for Penguin's Extraordinary Canadians series.The discussion touches on Richler's outsider status, his struggle with and acceptance of Jewishness, making one person's story everyone's story, cities, streets and communities, mothers and fathers, growing out of groups, humble origins, irony, great novels versus journalism, and honesty.
