Litehouse aims to highlight and promote literature and poetry from exophonic writers.
Exophony, as the creative process of writing in a non-native language, is all around us. In an immensely globalized landscape, with the radical spread and interconnectedness of languages, especially of English, non-native speakers find themselves being constantly shaped and transformed by this semantic interchange. Inevitably, this opens up new frontiers in the way we view the world and express ourselves.
Among us, there are potential writers and poets who challenge and bend the boundaries of a language that they do not own, but, nonetheless, connect with it in a singular manner. By doing so, not only they register new, unconventional elements into a foreign language, but they, also, create new channels of interpreting and viewing language. Exophony is not just a literary genre but a bridge to understanding, a celebration of linguistic diversity, and a testament to human adaptability. It reshapes our notions of identity and belonging, fosters cross-cultural empathy, and reveals the nature of human resilience in the face of language and cultural shifts.
Litehouse’s mission is to amplify the voices of exophonic writers, celebrating their literary contributions. From poetry and fiction to audio poems and candid conversations in personal interviews, we are committed to shining a light on the endeavors of writers who traverse linguistic and cultural frontiers.
