Here, poetry flourishes as a book \"beyond the book,\" in a space of performance that starts and stops time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLittle Theatres\u003c\/em\u003e, Ern Moure's avatar Elisa Sampedrn first spoke about theatre and the need for smallness in order to articulate what is huge. Sampedrn, who reappears in the translation mystery \u003cem\u003eO Resplandor\u003c\/em\u003e as the translator of a language she does not speak, vanishes later in \u003cem\u003eThe Unmemntioable\u003c\/em\u003e when the split in human identity that results from war and displacement is acknowledged. Now, in \u003cem\u003eKapusta\u003c\/em\u003e, the character E. is alone, in the smallest of spaces - the bench behind her grandmother's woodstove in Alberta. Here, E. struggles to face the largest of historical and imagined spaces - the Holocaust in Western Ukraine, and to understand her mother's silence at the sadness of her forebears, her \"salt-shaker love.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErín Moure\u003c\/b\u003e is one of Canada's most eminent and respected poets, and a translator from French, Spanish, Galician, and Portuguese.
