Making Place in Hybrid Tongues with Sehba Sarwar

Making Place in Hybrid Tongues with Nadia Misir, Sorayya Khan, Torsa Ghosal, Sehba Sarwar, Minerva Laveaga

This AWP 2021 panel highlights the work of writers who explore remembered and imagined attachments with place. Featuring five women of color whose living and writing transcend national borders and literary genres, the panel asks whether the places we navigate demand their own hybrid literary forms. Writers who wear multiple tags—novelist, memoirist, poet, translator, critic—read from new work. These works embody aesthetic and political choices involved in representing locales across genres.
