Poet-translator Annie Kantar will speak about Leah Goldberg and the
process of translating *With This Night *(University of Texas Press,
2011), the final collection of poetry that Goldberg published during
her lifetime.
Leah Goldberg (1911-1970) was the author
of nine collections of poetry, three plays, three novels, a memoir,
literary criticism, children's stories, and translations of Ibsen,
Petrarch, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, and other classical and modern poets
and novelists. Shortly after her death, Goldberg received Israel's
highest honor, the Israel Prize.
Annie Kantar is the recipient of an
Academy of American Poets Prize and a Fulbright Scholarship, and has
published her poems and translations in literary journals such as American Literary Review, Barrow Street, Poetry International, Tikkun, and others.
