Crossing Borders with Our Work: Interview with Erín Moure

Smaro Kamboureli and Kit Dobson

Erín Moure is a Montreal poet who writes in English, but multilingually. In her recent O Resplandor (2010) and—with Oana Avasilichioaei—Expeditions of a Chimæra (2009), her poetry is hybrid, and emerges in translation and collaboration. Her essays, My Beloved Wager: Essays from a Writing Practice, appeared in 2009; Pillage Laud was reissued by BookThug in 2011, and The Unmemntioable, a poetic investigation into subjectivity, immigration, and the western borderlands of Ukraine, was published by Anansi in 2012.
