Registration REQUIRED by 4pm on February 26, 2026 in order to attend this event.

Please join the Harriman Institute and the Department of Slavic Languages for a poetry reading by Eugene Ostashevsky. Moderated by Mark Lipovetsky.

Eugene Ostashevsky will read his translated and original poetry and discuss the difference between the two. How do translation and translingualism differ in their handling of the sounds and shapes of language? Why is it a mistake to think of poetry as always already a translation? Why is translingualism, in calling attention to language only, a misnomer? And other such things that you did not know you wanted to know you shall know.
