Conférence de Christopher Bakken

Notes from a Hellenized Barbarian

Christopher Bakken’s poetry, nonfiction, and translations exhibit a sustained engagement with Greek literature and culture. In this presentation, Mr. Bakken will read and share examples of poetry from across his career and he will consider the ways his poems might constitute acts of translation, since they work in conversation with Greek poets (including Cavafy, Karyotakis, Ritsos, Elytis, and Patrikios), but also spring from sources inherently cross-cultural and even cross-linguistic. A small anthology of his poems will be available at the event and audience members will be welcome to ask questions about his work and his writing process.
