Semyon Khanin: A Poetry Reading and Discussion

Semyon Khanin numbers as one of Latvia’s most prominent poets. His writing combines existential depth, startling and transformative play with fundamental elements of grammar and syntax, and acute wit and humor, and stands at the forefront of innovative Russian-language poetry today. Khanin will appear together with Kevin M. F. Platt, who is among his longstanding translators into English. This bilingual reading will be followed by a Q&A and discussion with the poet and translator.
