Polish poet, essayist and translator, Piotr Sommer, will read from his poetry and tell of growing up in post-war Poland from the early 1950's through the early 1990's. He will describe life in Otwock, a small town outside of Warsaw, and in Warsaw itself -- first as a boy in the yard and at school, then as a student at Warsaw University, and later as a beginning writer. Co-sponsored by the School of Social Work and the Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies. This lecture is made possible by a grant from the Charles H. Revson Foundation in honor of Eli N. Evans, '58. Co-sponsored by the School of Social Work, and the Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies.
