Helen Vendler
will present two early poems and two late poems (via text and audio recording), reflecting on what did and did not draw her to Wallace Stevens when she first encountered his work in her twenties. She will ask why Stevens, in his seventies, was drawn to a plainness of style not present in his first book, Harmonium (1923).

OMNIGLOT SEMINAR: Between Poetry and PoEsie:
Franco-American Poetics in Translation
French poet Sebastien Smirou, author of Mon Laurent, and his American translator, Andrew Zawacki, will read from and discuss the translation of Smirou's first book, recently released by Burning Deck as My Lorenzo. As a window onto their collaborative process, Smirou and Zawacki will also translate--live--from Smirou's more recent volume, Beau voir ("See About"), with their conversation translated, on the spot, from French to English by American poet-translator Cole Swensen. This will open a pair of translation scenarios which can, in their turn, be discussed.
