Wang Jiaxin : A Poetry Reading
Monday, April 22, 2:10-3:40
212 Wellman
"Wang Jiaxin's DARKENING MIRROR...belongs to this moment, and reading it, one is aware again that poetry is not a matter of movements and historical moments, but of individual voices, in this case stunningly alert and interior. Wang is the Chinese translator of Paul Celan, and reading him one feels something like the presence of the great voices of an intense inwardness in twentieth century European poetry.” —Robert Hass
