Lauch Event for Uljana Wolf's Subsisters
February 20, 2018, 7:00 pm
at Goethe Institut New York

How to Subsister: The Multilingual Poetry of Uljana Wolf German poet Uljana Wolf has forged a unique form of poetry out of the distorting and transforming process of translation. On the occasion of the publication of Subsisters: Selected Poems (Belladonna*), she will be joined by American poets and translators (including Cathy Park Hong, Mina Pam Dick, LaTasha N. Diggs, Celina Su, Farnoosh Fathi, Anna Moschovakis, and Matvei Yankelevich) for a dynamic reading of her experimental poems in both the original language(s) and in the radical translations of Sophie Seita. In between poems, Wolf will discuss her singular style with award-winning translator Susan Bernofsky, examining new ways to think about translation, multilingualism, immigration, and mother tongues.
