Readings

1:30 PM, location TBA (directly after Jeffrey Shandler's noon lecture, which is in building 200, room 307) (map for lecture)


A note from Emily: We will discuss Jacob Sternberg, a poet, dramatist, and essayist. A book of Sternberg's poetry is available [here]. [And here is] a pdf of English translations of some of the poems and a translation of a fascinating essay of his. This essay was translated by Samuel Mintz, grandfather of our Danny.

Here is some information about Sternberg: YIVO Encyclopedia

As far as I have identified, the English translations correspond to these pages in the Yiddish original:

My Father (14)
It's Cool (42)
With the Moon's Ax (50)
Watchman, What of the Night? (64)
Legs (206)
Dawn (237)
Nights of Crisis (389)
(I haven't yet found "Little Birds," "One's Own Shadow," "Though it Rains," or "Nights of Crisis")
