RICARDO PAUL-LLOSA: A BILINGUAL RECITAL
Translations into Cuban by Enrico Mario Santí

Wednesday, November 4
4-6 p.m.

Niles Gallery, Lucille Little Fine Arts Library

Ricardo Pau-Llosa is, far and away, the most prestigious Cuban-American poet writing in English today. With seven books to his credit, he has established himself as well as a prominent and sought-after art critic: http://www.pau-llosa.com/

Pau-Llosa, a Professor of English at Miami Dade College, and I have been collaborating on a bilingual anthology of poems translated, not exactly into Spanish, but into… Cuban. Part of the excitement of this event is that it will be the first public together reading of our experimental work.

“Pau-Llosa is a superb poet of memory…. He displays a consummate ability not simply to evoke, but to recreate the lost city of remembrance and to do so with a tragic depth rare in contemporary American poetry.” Eric Ormsby
