- Book Synopsis
- Chambersonic imagines the book as an acoustic chamber. This collection of poems, essays, performance scores, and audio recordings comes alive with documents, rehearsals, and reverberations, all populated by an ensemble of players, instruments, and materials that make sound together. A conductor fades in and out; the audience acts as choreographer; agencies, noises, and situations test their volumes and energies - until voices morph into rebellious notation, signalling the near-silenced, the dissonant, and the ignored.
- About The Author
- Oana Avasilichioaei is a poet-artist, sound performer, and translator interested in polyphonic poetics, phonotophes (intermediary spaces between words, sounds, and images), and states of listening. Her seven poetry collections include We, Beasts (Wolsak & Wynn, 2012, winner of the A. M. Klein Prize for Poetry), Limbinal (Talonbooks, 2015), and Eight Track (finalist for the 2020 A. M. Klein Prize for Poetry and the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry). Avasilichioaei has translated eleven books of poetry and prose from French and Romanian, including Bertrand Laverdure's Readopolis (Book*hug, 2017, winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Translation) and Wigrum (runner-up for the 2014 Alcuin Award for Book Design in Canada; winner of the 2012 Grafika Grand Prize for Typography). Other distinctions include the Cole Foundation Prize for Translation. She has been a writer-in-residence at Green College, UBC, and the University of Calgary, an artist-in-residence at Simon Fraser University and OBORO, and was the 2018 Audain Visual Artist in Residence at SFU.
