Jane Hirshfield – American poet, essayist and translator, author of award-winning volumes of poetry. Winner of, among others, the Poetry Center Book Award, Columbia University’s Translation Center Award, the T.S. Eliot Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.In her work, she attempts to name the unnameable, seemingly, experiences and revelations of various manifestations of life – not just human life. The insightful observations of everyday life in her poems are saturated with a sense of humour, a tendency to paradox and a sense of absurdity. In interviews and during lectures, she has emphasised the influence of Czesław Miłosz on her poetry many times. This year, in cooperation with the organisers of the Miłosz Festival, the Znak publishing house released another, after Uważność (Mindfulness), collection of poems translated into Polish, titled Słodycz jabłek, słodycz fig (The Sweetness of Apples, of Figs), edited by Agata Hołobut.The meeting, also featuring Jerzy Illg – editor-in-chief of Znak, will be hosted by Agata Hołobut, English philologist and translator.Music: Zespół W/L- Michał Lazar, Aleksander WnukVenue: Guido Mine, Level 320, 3 Maja 93, 41-800 ZabrzeTime: 6 p.m. / descent underground starting at 5 p.m.Admission: free
