New episode of NER Out Loud!

Poetry and conversation: Helene Achanzar

May 25, 2022

“There is more than enough wonder and curiosity and rage and humor and despair to make for good poems, the question is really how to translate those experiences so that the mundane becomes remarkable.” —Helene Achanzar


Created, edited, and hosted by Tejas Srinivasan ’23, NER Out Loud episode 19 presents Helene Achanzar reading her poem “Chicago” (NER 42.4), followed by a conversation about poetic structure, the realities of labor, modern paintings, her beloved home city, and more.

Helene Achanzar is the winner of NER‘s 2022 Emerging Writers’ Award. A Filipina-Canadian poet and educator, she is an associate editor for Poetry Northwest and is currently working as The Director of Programs at the Chicago Poetry Center. Her poems “Chicago” and “Etymology” were published in NER 42.4.

In the new episode of the NER Out Loud podcast, Jennifer Shyue talks about how she fell in love with translation and details some of the pleasures and perils of this exacting and creative work.


Created, edited, and hosted by Madison Middleton ‘22.5, NER Out Loud episode 18 presents Anna Lidia Vega Serova‘s “Portrait of My Mother-in-Law with Subsequent Touch-Ups” read by Middlebury College theater major Lu Mila, and Jorge Enrique Lage‘s “Selections from Vultureffect” read by Michelle Marquez, a literature and creative writing.

Both of these selections were originally published in the “Cuban Literature Today” feature in NER 42.1, and both were translated by Jennifer Shyue. Listen in as Jennifer discusses her process, from choosing what to translate to reading aloud for sound and rhythm. “A lot of the problem solving is similar between writing and translation,” she says, but to her, “Translation was always the most fun part of writing without the more stressful parts.”

Two New Episodes of NER Out Loud

Michael McGriff and Jesse Lee Kercheval

October 6, 2021

Listen to two new episodes of NER Out Loud, hosted and produced by our summer interns Yardena Carmi ’23 and Rebecca Amen ’22.

Episode 16: Michael McGriff reads an excerpt from his poem “Questions for the Interrogation,” followed by an interview with Yardena Carmi. Their conversation explores the poem’s tribute to rural Oregon and Pablo Neruda, the limitations of memory and language, and Michael’s work as a translator of Tomas Tranströmer.

“From Questions for the Interrogation” was originally published in NER 42.1 (spring 2021).

Episode 17: Jesse Lee Kercheval reads her essay “Crash,” followed by a conversation with Rebecca Amen. The short essay interrogates the author’s memory of a shocking car accident that took place more than 50 years ago.

“Crash” was originally published in NER 42.2 (summer 2021).

Writer’s Notebook—Hysterosalpingography

Rosalie Moffett

Many of the poems I’ve been writing lately are trying to figure out how to think about the future, how to reasonably hope, and what we must be resigned to. How can you imagine the future when the present is so slippery, so ready to dissolve?
