[Yale-readings] WEDNESDAY Richard Sieburth, A Life in Translation

[Kuhl, Nancy]

RICHARD SIEBURTH : A LIFE IN TRANSLATION

Join us for an afternoon of conversation with Richard Sieburth,

whom Harold Bloom has called "one of the handful of magnificent literary translators among us." Sieburth will discuss "a life in translation" with Peter Cole.



Richard Sieburth's translations of Friedrich Hölderlin, Maurice Scève, Louise Labé, Nostradamus, Gérard de Nerval, Georg Büchner, Henri Michaux, and others have been praised far and wide, as has his scholarship and editorial work-including the Ezra Pound Library of America volume, and recent New Directions editions of the Pisan Cantos and Selected Poems. Winner of the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize, Sieburth is also the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is Emeritus Professor of English, French, and Comparative Literature at New York University.

Co-Sponsored by the Departments of Comparative Literature and French and the Yale Translation Initiative
