Postcolonial Mnemopoetics: Reading the Poetry of Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott, Ingrid de Kok, Sherman Alexie, and Bemardine Evaristo Through the Lens of Transnational Memory Studies

Aiming to fill a methodological gap in cultural memory studies with regard to poetrYr this project maps out the transnational dimensions of cultural memory in the work of five postcolonial poets. It engages with the poets' transborder comparative imaginary and scrutinizes their reception r their repurposing of traditional poetic forms, and their dialogues with visual art.
