Join me in NYC for the Czesław Miłosz Centenary!
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011
There’s a swirl of events March 21-28 honoring the Czesław Miłosz centenary in New York City (and one event for Zbigniew Herbert). Join me in celebrating, if you’re in town! It’s certainly a rare event for me — at least a decade since I’ve been in New York at all, sedentary little West Coaster that I am.
I will be speaking at Columbia University (see poster at right) on the 28th and at the Brooklyn Central Library on the 27th.
Ann Kjellberg at Little Star has blogged about some of the other events here.
They include:
March 21 — 8 p.m., Kaufman Concert Hall, 92 Street Y: “A Celebration of Czesław Miłosz with Robert Hass, Adam Zagajewski and Clare Cavanagh”
March 22 — 7 p.m., Music Building, Queens College: “A Centennial Celebration of the Work of Czesław Miłosz” — Clare Cavanagh, Robert Hass, Edward Hirsch, Adam Zagajewski
