In Memoriam Marjorie Agosín: Celebrating a Poetic Life

Monday, May 19, 2025, 5.00 pm
University of Graz, Meerscheinschloessl
Mozartgasse 3, 8010 Graz

Celebrating Marjorie Agosín, who left us too early, we want to commemorate the traces she left, acknowledge the lives she touched, and find solace in the memory that is a blessing for all of us who loved and cherished her. Marjorie was reconciled with Austria through the work she did at the Center for Inter-American Studies, her enthusiastic involvement in the Graz International Summer School Seggau, her creative writing workshops in Graz and Seggau, her mentorship to all of us, and especially her constant love and support, always in awareness of the challenges we all face. Now, it is our task to feel this love in our loss, find consolation in the fact that we had the privilege of knowing such a wonderful person, and to come together and in appreciation celebrate a life well lived by asking the question “Where is love born that does not end in sorrow?” Together, in acknowledgement that “the sun changed colors,” we will find our own poetic voices and “perhaps” feel joy and connection: “But sometimes I see her appear in my dreams, / A visionary filled with love / Who kissed my forehead / And asks me not to forget her”. Those of you who would like to share testimonials and pictures, we will set up a platform for you to contribute, which we will post on the website of the Center for Inter-American Studies of the University of Graz, Austria.
