The second meeting in the Poets Read Poets series is dedicated to Debora Vogel, one of the most innovative and unconventional Yiddish poets, who introduced elements of montage and cubism into Yiddish literature.
During the workshop, we will read and discuss several of Vogel’s poems, focusing on both their formal qualities and their thematic concerns.
This time, Yiddish poets Katerina Kuznetsova and yael merlini will be joined by two more speakers:
Anna Rozenfeld — researcher of Jewish history and Yiddish culture, painter, and actress. She is also a Yiddish translator and language instructor, and a professional Yiddish performer on Polish Radio and at the Jewish Theatre in Warsaw.
Jordan Lee Schnee — poet, writer, and translator. In 2024, he edited collections of Spanish and Portuguese translations of Debora Vogel’s poetry. His English translations of her work have appeared in In Geveb and Asymptote.
All four speakers will present and discuss different poems by Vogel.
The workshop will take place from 19:00 to 21:00, with a 20-minute break.
