Antoine Cassar


Multilingual poet, literary translator and organiser of literary events.

Born in London to Maltese parents in 1978, Antoine Cassar grew up and studied in England, Malta, Italy and Spain. He is currently completing a PhD thesis on the origins of the sonnet. He now lives in Luxembourg, where he works as a translator.

Mużajk is an exploration in multilingual verse, an attempt to braid together the sounds and cadences of different tongues into a single rhythm and a single thought.

Written in a blend of English, French, Italian, Maltese and Spanish, but occasionally sowing in other languages according to the subject, the mużajki or mosaics journey through a variety of themes, among them the pleasure and futility of living, love unrequited or fulfilled, the beauty of the Mediterranean, the desire for simplicity in an ever-increasingly complicated lifestyle, the absurdity of colonialism and its after-effects, and the at once exhilarating and disorienting feeling of variety itself.
