Hofstra Cultural Center and the
Department of Romance Languages and Literatures present
On the Edge of Creation and
Translation Symposium
(Hispanic-American Writers and Scholars on Translation) This symposium arises from a need and an interest in the study of the art of translation at a university. With 50 million people speaking Spanish in the United States, we are constantly challenged by the need for translation. Moreover, translation is an undeniable presence and is inherent in culture, science and all human knowledge. Speakers include Yusef Komunyakaa, Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; Madeline Millรกn, PEN National Poetry Award, Puerto Rico; and Jeannette Clariond, National Poetry Prize, Mexico. Artist: Jorge Valdivia Carrasco
