PROGRAMS’ WRITERS
Maria Bennett, Kristine Doll, Shreejana Sharma, Yuyutsu Sharma, and Bill Wolak will offer a Spring inventory of risky declamations on the themes of intimacy, loss, alienation, perishability, travel, and unexpected pleasures. Each of the poets will offer temptations, celebrations, and insights. In addition, these five poets will explore various destinations in the world of “the other” through their translations from around the globe, including brief stopovers in Spanish, Catalan, Italian, Persian, and Nepalese.
The afternoon will feature the distinguished Indian/Nepali poet Yuyutsu Sharma, who is currently on a tour of North and South America. Having just returned from Nicaragua, where he read his poetry in the streets of Managua with Ernesto Cardenal to an audience of thirty thousand people, Mr. Sharma will offer poems that evoke both the daunting primordial landscape of the Himalayas and the contemporary space cake of Amsterdam.
