Romanian Poetry in Translation
presented by Andrei Codrescu
The July/August 2007 issue of „American Book Review” puts a spotlight on contemporary Romanian poetry in translation in what Andrei Codrescu, the Focus Editor, calls „interstitial English” – „a language in which a great many foreign-born writers are becoming fluent (…), literally pouring out of the interstices between cyber and real worlds in a stream that should make all poets giddy”. RCINY has invited Andrei Codrescu and ABR editors Jeffrey R. Di Leo and Charles Alcorn, Jr, to a casual debate with poets Carmen Firan, Paul Doru Mugur, Saviana Stanescu, about the ways contemporary Romanian poetry is received and perceived in the US. The discussion will be followed by a poetry reading.
The evening will also allow the first public presentation of a space visually reconfigured by two of Lia Perjovschi’s works („Subjective chronology” and „Mind Maps”), that the artist graciously permitted RCINY to exhibit as a statement in favor of contemporary Romanian arts.
