Join us for a multilingual reading and celebration of poetry in translation, held in partnership with the Academy of American Poets.
Words Without Borders invites you to a multilingual reading and celebration of poetry in translation, held in partnership with the Academy of American Poets. Join us for an evening of poetry in Arabic, French, Malay, Spanish, and English, with readings by Samira Negrouche and translator Marilyn Hacker; Zahid M. Naser and translator Pauline Fan; Jeannette Clariond and translator Samantha Schnee; and translator Kareem James Abu-Zeid.
The poems featured at the reading will also be published in Words Without Borders and in POETS.org’s Poem-a-Day series throughout September, which is National Translation Month. While we cannot gather in person this year, we look forward to convening virtually with you and these fantastic translators and poets based around the world to celebrate the power of poetry to bring us together across languages, cultures, and continents.
