Look Back, Look Ahead:
The Selected Poems of Srecko Kosovel

Richard Jackson, Bill Rasmovicz, Barbara Siegel Carlson, and Ana Jelnikar introduce Slovenian Modernist Srecko Kosovel.

A talk and a bilingual reading by the translators, Barbara Siegel Carlson and Ana Jelnikar, and poets Richard Jackson and Bill Rasmovicz.

***UPDATE*** Due to the great natural cataclysm of April 2010, otherwise known as the Eyjafjallajokull volcano
eruption, Ana Jelnikar will be unable to attend this reading. Our apologies!

“Srecko Kosovel and Rainer Maria Rilke couldn’t be more different, but they aren’t, they’re brothers. […] To read him is like watching Van Gogh’s last paintings, to stare at Celan’s last drops of life. And yet, he’s the threshold, the triumphal arch to this small nation’s destiny. The eternal poet of the total existence.” —TOMAZ SALAMUN
