Poets may wish to know about the forthcoming British Library event
concerning Uri Zvi Greenberg, who was, to say the least, a very
different contemporary of Ezra Pound's.
:
Uri Zvi Greenberg: Poetry and History
A Lecture in the Centre for the Book's Art of Translation series
by
Prof. Yehuda Friedlander
(Bar-Ilan University)
Tuesday 28th October 1997
6.00 pm
at
The British Library
St Pancras
Professor Yehuda Friedlander will discuss the work of this
controversial poet who, born in 1894, predicted and warned against the
Holocaust, yet, before and after the Second World War and Israel's
independence, evolved a mystical and nationalistic Zionism that
rendered him at odds with the more humanistic Jewish literary
mainstream.
Sponsored by the University of Cambridge's Centre for Modern Hebrew
Studies, this lecture will take place at 6.00 pm on Tuesday 28th
October at the Conference Centre at the new British Library building,
96 Euston Rd, London NW1. Admission is free but by ticket only (please
