Hispanic Resources: News & Events: Tomorrow!--Reading and Conversation "The Galloping Hour: French Poems by Alejandra Pizarnik"

Join us tomorrow Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. for our reading and conversation: "The Galloping Hour: French Poems by Alejandra Pizarnik." The event will be held in the Hispanic Reading Room, located on the 2nd floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress.

About the event:

Forrest Gander and Patricio Ferrari will read their translations of Alejandra Pizarnik's French poems found in The Galloping Hour (New Directions, 2018). Never before rendered in English and unpublished during her lifetime, these French poems draw from personal life experiences and they echo readings of Pizarnik’s beloved/accursed French authors — Charles Baudelaire, Germain Nouveau, Arthur Rimbaud, and Antonin Artaud. Anna Deeny Morales will follow with a reading of her translations of Pizarnik's Diana's Tree, forthcoming this year. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Russian Jewish parents, Pizarnik is considered one of Latin America's most powerful and intense lyric poets of 20th century. A discussion will follow the reading. 

Co-sponsored by the Hispanic Division and the European Division of the Library of Congress. Presented in collaboration with the Alan Cheuse International Writing Center and George Mason University.
