M U L L A duel of ideas

Dialect of the Unspoken

Anne Carson  vs  Olga Orozco

Anne Carson engages with Olga Orozco on the language that exists beyond words. Carson suggests that poetic form captures the unsaid through rhythm, while Orozco argues that silence itself becomes a dialect of longing. Their imagined conversation explores how absence can speak louder than spoken language.
