SUMMARY:Welcome to the Void: a Countershade Introduction and Drag Show

Come meet the publishers of Countershade Press\, Jonah and Austin Barnett\, as they introduce you to their alternative worlds.\n\nAudiences can expect to learn more about the press\, followed with a monster drag show hosted by Luna DeLyte. Featuring D’Angelo Dandy\, Corvyd\, and Vanessa the Witch. Drag explores “the other side\,” submerging ourselves into worlds of storytelling through movement\, words\, and expression. All elements—from origin stories and lore to costume choices—bring audiences to experience a post-binary world of opportunity\, where being your authentic self shines in the most fantastical ways.

SUMMARY:Reading the World: A Panel on Literary Translation
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday\, October 14th\, in the Worthington Conference Center.\nFree and open to the public. \nSponsored by Oly Fed\n\nIn this evening presentation\, which is free and open to the public\, three award-winning translators will discuss the pleasures and challenges of translating texts into English. How does a translator convey a work of literature from one language and culture into another? What is the process that brings us voices and stories from around the world? Each panelist works from a different language and specializes in a different genre—fiction\, nonfiction and poetry. The panel will be followed by audience Q&A and a book-signing\, with books by all of the translators available for purchase on site.
