Poet Alicia Borinsky: Frivolous Women and Other Sinners (Frívolas y pecadoras)
7:00 PM-8:30 PM
Kennedy Memorial Hall/Public Safety, Kennedy 112
- Free and open to the public
Alicia Borinsky, the Argentinean novelist, poet and critic, will read from her latest book of poetry, Frivolous Women and Other Sinners [Frívolas y pecadoras].
Borinsky is Professor of Latin American and Comparative Literature at Boston University where she founded the Writing in the Americas Program. Her poetry has a playful, yet intense style that comes across well in live readings. She has known - and even been an inspiration for - many Latin American writers, especially of those of the so-called "boom" generation. Some of her papers were recently acquired by Amherst College and given an archival exhibition in their library
The individual poems are imagined profiles of different women. Here is a link with some brief excerpts:

The reading will be in both Spanish and English. Refreshments will be provided and copies of her book will be available for purchase ($28) and signing.
