Reading: Odile Cisneros

at Pegasus Books

Join Pegasus Books Downtown at 7pm on Thursday, May 22nd for a reading and conversation with literary scholar Odile Cisneros, translator of the first English language translation of galáxias by the renowned Brazilian avant-gardist Haroldo de Campos (1929-2003). Cisneros will be joined by Oakland writer Dick Cluster to discuss the work, recently published by Ugly Duckling Presse. This brilliant work (composed over two decades and published in 1984) charts a linguistic odyssey across time and space, from Homer’s ancient Greece to the 1950s Beat Poets—a formidable experiment in polyglot poetry that prefigures Spoken Word.
