Featuring poets Mark Eisner, Mark Doty, Willie Perdomo, Katherine Jamieson and others reading new translations from “Essential Neruda” (City Lights Press).
The evening will also include a special showing of Pablo Neruda: a Documentary, a remarkable account on the author and his life as narrated by famed Chilean author Isabel Allende.
As Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote, Pablo Neruda was "the greatest poet of the twentieth century - in any language." His words and their history remain extremely vital today.
Proceeds benefit documentary.
