Just put it in your calendars. November 11 at 7:30 p.m. An evening called “Found in Translation.” the IAWE is hosting four fascinating poets from around the world to read in their own language, with translations to English, so that we can hear the music of Hungarian, Persian, Slovak and Hebrew.  Milan Richter, Payam Feili, Judit Frigeysi and Hamutal Bar Yosef.  I  am proud to host it.  This means more to me than all the evenings I’ve hosted in the past few months because I’m beginning to understand the potential of the benefits of international communications.  Are you interested?  Let me know and I’ll send you the link in a few days.

what else have i doing on zoom?  some of the things are esoteric, some banal.  i taught a class on Yeats at the university of Haifa two days, and yesterday i participated in a zoom memorial.  Tomorrow I sit in on my brother’s Mishna lesson.  All very interesting but not more than you would expect. On Sunday, however, I’ve initiated a high school reunion – 55 years ago I graduated from Monroe High School in Rochester New York, and on Sunday we’re getting together – face to face – with all our wrinkles – on zoom.  

when the world returns, we’ll have lots of new and old connections to develop in real time.
