Richard Fein's Yiddish Anthology Reading

Join us to hear Yiddish Poet and translator Richard Fein read selections from his book, With Everything We've Got: A Personal Anthology of Yiddish Poetry. The book introduces English-speaking audiences to some of the most poignant and passionate voices of the twentieth century and includes the poet's own responses to their verse and to the act of translation itself. The poems offer nuanced experiments in form, meditations on the fate of the Yiddish language, and reflections on immigrant life and the workers' life in the modern American metropolis.

The reading will include Richard Fein’s English translations and some poems in the original Yiddish. Copies of the book will be available for purchase after the reading.
