Slavic Studies

Major Transgressions! Poetry from Poland

The event is organized and sponsored by Creative Arts Council at Brown and the departments of Slavic Studies and Literary Arts.

Celebrating contemporary poetry and experimental prose from Poland and offering open collaborative translation workshops, this two-day poetry and translation festival brings together five major Polish poets and translators: Ewa Chruściel, Julia Fiedorczuk, Tadeusz Pióro, Agnieszka Taborska, and Adam Wiedemann. During two translation workshops, the invited poets will collaborate with students to create English versions of selected poems.
