literatur cafÉ

The Neue Galerie is delighted to present a new literary program Literatur Café offers conversations on literature, translation, the art of writing, and literary reception.

POETRY'S PRECARIOUS PERMANENCE: rILKE, POETRY AND CREATIVITY

What moves people to write poetry, and how do poets transform the fleeting dimension of lived experience into the precarious permanence of poetry? How do poets capture feelings of ecstatic joy and irrecoverable loss without turning such experiences into lifeless, frozen words?

Join us for a special evening with the newly appointed Executive Director and President of the Academy of American Poets Ricardo Alberto Maldonado and renowned NYU University Professor and Rilke expert, Ulrich Baer for a discussion about Rilke, poetry, and creativity.
