Luciana Erregue-Sacchi

Luciana Erregue-Sacchi is a Canadian-Argentinian bilingual poet. I hold a Master’s in Art History from the University of Alberta (2016). My areas of interest include the politics of canon formation, official portraiture of the Americas, the politics of museum display, and performances of spectatorship. Prior to my graduate work, I studied Law in my native Argentina and was a bilingual art educator at the AGA between the years 2004-2005 and 2010-2012. My published poems include My Prisons/Mis Prisiones (The Polyglot); The Embroiderer from Harrods, Argentina/La bordadora de Harrods, Argentina (La Rabia del Axolotl); my poem Corset will be published in the upcoming Stroll of Poets Anthology. My poetry addresses the connection between art and memory. I am currently working on a multidisciplinary poetry project with Anna Marie Sewell.

“My Apple”, “Volcanoes in Antarctica” and “Garden”

Personification meets allegory in Luciana Erregue-Sacchi’s poem “My Apple”—“Eve,/Stands, unrepentant/Venus Pudica”; and metaphor meets personification in “Garden”—“my garden is a map of my brain/Cobalt, cadmium, coral, kidney shaped.” “Volcanoes In Antarctica?” Read the poem to see poetry as analysis.
