Join us for a lively conversation with Rani Ward at Busboys and Poets in Washington DC for the 2025 Let’s Talk: International Writers Festival, presented by George Mason University.
If you throw a flower in another language into the air, who will catch it? Let’s make a bouquet together in many languages! Please join us for a Big Tent Community Event, a chance to convene and bring together literary translators and multilingual writers in the DMV for a kaleidoscopic reading and gathering. Featuring blossoms from our world's many languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Polish, Faroese, Spanish, Russian, Kosovo, Ukrainian, Croatian, Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and more!
Randi Ward is a poet, translator, lyricist, and photographer from West Virginia. She earned her MA in Cultural Studies from the University of the Faroe Islands and has twice won the American-Scandinavian Foundation’s Nadia Christensen Prize.
