Tribute to Pablo Neruda (Pandemic Edition!)
Thursday, April 8th
12:00-1:00pm
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pablo Neruda’s recognition with the Nobel prize in literature, this session will reflect on this Hispanic American writer and explore some of his poems. Given our recent situation of confinement and quarantining, this poetry reading will focus on Neruda’s Odas Elementales, odes that reveal the beauty of typically overlooked household items such as a chair, a spoon, or a pair of socks. (This session is in Spanish)
