César Vallejo's 'Trilce': William Rowe and Helen Dimos with Jeffrey Yang – Cold Spring, NY

Split Rock Books hosts translators William Rowe and Helen Dimos for a reading and discussion of César Vallejo's Trilce, a classic of Spanish-language modernism first published in 1922. In this new edition of Trilce—the recipient of the prestigious Premio Valle Inclán for the best translation from Spanish into English— Dimos and Rowe accompany each poem with a gloss. Their incisive commentary on these legendarily challenging poems opens them up to new understanding while inviting readers to find their own pathways to and through them.

Rowe and Dimos will be joined in conversation with poet Jeffrey Yang, author of An Aquarium and Vanishing-Line. His other translations include Ahmatjan Osman’s Uyghurland, the Farthest Exile, Liu Xiaobo’s June Fourth Elegies, and Su Shi’s East Slope. He also works as an editor at New Directions.

The event is free and open to the public. RSVP here.
