Según el famoso verso de Pablo García Casado, “estar en las afueras también es estar dentro”. Cosmopoética reunirá a autores que, desde la periferia, ya sea ésta geográfica, lingüística, étnica o cultural, han desarrollado una voz propia, quebrando con su talento la visión mayoritaria que tantas vences opaca tradiciones culturales, haciendo aportaciones que terminan integrándose en el caudal de la creación contemporánea. description

An Evening with Sholeh Wolpé & Jennifer Clement

DATE: March 6, 2025

TIME: 6:00 PM

LOCATION: The Poet's Corner, First Floor

Wardman Library, Whittier College

Join us for a conversation about navigating Hollywood, publication and the music industry with two literary virtuosos who have transformed their words into everything from film scripts to opera librettos and plays, books of poetry, novels, memoirs and beyond.

SHOLEH WOLPÉ is an award-winning Iranian-American poet, playwright, librettist, and literary translator whose work has been translated into multiple languages. Her acclaimed adaptation of Attar's The Conference of the Birds has been performed as an opera, her plays have been staged internationally, and her screenplays have attracted attention from major studios.

JENNIFER CLEMENT, former President of PEN International, is a renowned novelist, memoirist, poet, and screenwriter. Her novel "Prayers for the Stolen" was adapted into an award-winning feature film, and her new memoir has been tapped for development by Stephen Spielberg.

MODERATED BY

TONY BARNSTONE, Professor of English at Whittier College

Translating Taboos

Stanley Kubrick (film director) and Vladimir Nabokov (author) agreed to make the 1955 novel LOLITA into a farcical film in 1962, leaning towards humor and playfulness rather than eroticism. They believed this was the best way to get around censorship. Director Tatiana Huezo and writer Jennifer Clement, in contrast, did not collaborate on the film adaptation, and their visions on mixing tragedy and comedy, what Charles Dickens famously called writing "streaky bacon" differed profoundly.

Join award-winning writers, Jennifer Clement, Tony Barnstone, and Sholeh Wolpé as they lead us through a captivating discussion of challenges and implications of translation from text to film, with the focus on translating “taboos,” such as sex, deviance, linguistic anathemas, and other unthinkables.


Jennifer Clement is an award-winning author and the only woman President of PEN International. Some of her best known novels, such as Prayers for the Stolen, have been adapted into films.

Tony Barnstone is a prolific poet, author, essayist, and literary translator and professor of English at Whittier College. He is the author of 23 books and a creativity tool in the form of a tarot deck.

Sholeh Wolpé is the Writer-In-Residence at UCI. Her literary work includes 15 books, several plays, a screenplay as well as librettos and lyrics for the choir and opera.
