Gloria Gervitz: Migraciones
Bilingual Poetry Reading
When: Monday, March 13 7:30

Where: At Modern Times Bookstore, 888 Valencia Street (between 19th
and
20th)
Migrations / Migraciones is the life's work of Gloria Gervitz, who is
recognized as one of the most important Mexican poets alive today.
Lushly
erotic in the poetic traditions of both the 17th-century Sor Juana Inés
de
la Cruz as well as modern Mexican feminism, Gervitz's writing is a
complex
interweaving of personal and family memory. Gerwitz's work, reflecting
her
place within Mexico's displaced Eastern European Jewish community,
tells
stories that are profoundly Mexican as well as American, and that are
ultimately about resolution. Mark Schafer has given us an English
translation that has taken thirteen years to complete. His thoughtful
conversation with Gervitz follows the poem.
