Please join the East Central European Center at the Harriman Institute for a presentation of Everything I Don't Know, the first book-length selection in English of the poetry of renowned Polish poet Jerzy Ficowski (1924-2006). Recently published by World Poetry Books and selected as the winner of the 2022 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation, the volume has been lauded by poet and translator Matthew Zapruder as "a marvel in its weird clarity and extraordinary range of styles and subjects." The event, moderated by Chris Caes, Lecturer in Polish, will feature translators Jennifer Grotz and Piotr Sommer, who will present and read from their translations of Ficowski's poetry.
