In it, Chus Pato's Galician biopoetics of poet and nation, \u003ci\u003eSecession\u003c\/i\u003e - translated by Er�n Moure - joins Moure's Canadian translational biopoetics, \u003ci\u003eInsecession.\u003c\/i\u003e To Pato, the poem is an insurrection against normalized language; to Moure, translation itself disrupts and reforms poetics and the possibility of the poem. In solidarity with Pato, Moure echoes Barthes: \"A readerly text is something I cannot re-produce (today I cannot write like Atwood); a writerly text is one I can read only if I utterly transform my reading regime. I now recognize a third text alongside the readerly and the writerly: let's call it the untranslatable.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSecession \/ Insecession,\u003c\/i\u003e a major European poet and a known Canadian poet, born on opposite sides of the Atlantic in the mid twentieth century and with vastly different experiences of political life, forge a 21st century relationship of thinking and creation.
