Jean Hollander, well-known poet and translator of Dante, will read from her collection of poems, “Counterpoint.” Originally written in English, the poems were translated into Italian by Nicoletta Braschi (wife of Roberto Benigni), and published in “Poesia”. Ms. Hollander will recite her poems in English, followed by Princeton University Professor Pietro Frassica, who will read the Italian version.
