Ren Powell

I am a member of The Norwegian Author's Union and have published two full-length collections of poetry, two chapbooks and nine books of translation. My work has been translated and published in French, Norwegian, Croatian, Basque and Spanish; staged in the US, Norway and Canada.

I helped to establish, and currently work for the International Cities of Refuge Network. My exposure to various aesthetic traditions through our journal, and my difficulties in evaluating the quality of Arab or African poetry etc., formed the basis for my PhD topic. I will be exploring how exposure to (what I perceive to be) radically different poetry aesthetics affects my own writing and reading.
