POETRY IN TRANSLATION | Selections from Georg Trakl

Austrian poet Georg Trakl made his mark with simple, measured language that powerfully evokes his experience of living. Join Renée Price, Director, and Scott Gutterman, Deputy Director of Neue Galerie New York on Friday, August 13, at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time for the premiere of “Poetry in Translation: Selections from Georg Trakl,” a bilingual reading in German and English.
A prominent theme in Trakl’s poetry is silence, in particular the silence of the dead. Out of these dark preoccupations, he created works of great beauty. Featured poems in this reading include Trakl’s 𝘋𝘪𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦, 𝘐𝘯 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘨, 𝘚𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘮, and 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳.
