Professor Zoë Skoulding (School of Arts, Culture and Language) took part in the Los Confines International Poetry Festival in Gracias Lempira and Copán Ruinas, Honduras, which is organised in conjunction with schools, universities and libraries in the region. A new edition of her Selected Poems in Spanish, Las Habitaciones, was launched at the event, with translators Víctor Rodríguez Núñez and Katherine M. Hedeen. Her poetry readings and discussions in Gracias included one on the theme of Europe, as seen from the outside. In Copán Ruinas she talked about listening to the non-human world with secondary school students from CEMG Núñez Chinchilla. “It is exciting to have a new book out in a culture where there are such enthusiastic readers of poetry,” said Zoë. “Honduras is a beautiful country, but it faces enormous social, economic and climate-related challenges. It’s a privilege to be part of an initiative like this that aims to strengthen creative education with poetry as its central focus.” Her visit was funded by the Welsh Government’s Taith scheme.
