In Hoboken RUSSIAN CULTURE
When in the mid-90s with Ivan Zhdanov we discussed the possibility of such a hypothetical thesis that - a joke. Now, watching the same scale humanitarian applicants understand that the study of ten years of Russian-American cultural programs at Institute of Technology Stivensovskom looks advantageous treatises on "psychosomatic complexes Dostoevsky." Two people engaged in the project - the American poet Edward Foster homes and your humble servant. The program included a translation and publishing activity and that is most noticeable and useful at the time, the organization of meetings of Russian and American poets. We managed to hold eight small and large festivals and as a final document to publish huge volume anthology of Russian poetry in English homes - Crossing centuries, Talisman Publishers (2000). Poetic coming for many people - it is easier to say that almost everyone who is now at the hearing, we visited. Why do about them if they are already on hearing this))). Correct to remember those who have us not come. Nina Iskrenko Sergei Kurehin Alexei Partschikov Dmitry Prigov, Helen Schwartz. When I realized that the context of the festival Second Wind 2011 in Hoboken should wear such a memorial character, calm down. The plot is there, and it was not necessary to invent it. Simple, human thing, and it is difficult to call the concept. Meeting at the Hudson River ten years later. October 29 this meeting tried to thwart snowfall: fell, dropping trees, de-energize, melted, flooded etc. I know that Grisha Starikovsky and Volodya Druck week after that there was no electricity. We went with Andrew tee from Pennsylvania: adventure, but not such as to talk about them (the road is flooded and we drove for about an hour under water). Margovsky, for example, get out of Boston, dodging falling on the highway ship pines. This cinematic, and therefore more like it))). Morning sessions on transfers led Gritsman Andrew, homes editor "Interpoezii" - a huge thank you to him for his help in preparing the conference. Without Andrew, Volodya Druck, John Huy, we would not have done anything worthwhile - especially from Moscow to New York are not steer. After lunch John Hai showed a film about Nina Iskrenko. Meeting in memory of deceased poets led Vladimir Druk: participants shared their memories of the old Hobokenskih homes festivals. homes Discussions worn everyday nature: a fight with someone who (or a fight), who had lost (or found), who is hit by a car (a horse). Julia Kunin spoke about the peculiarities of the human way of Helen Schwartz, Ian Probshtein Parschikov talked about and read their translations into English Schwartz, Druk told of Nekrasov homes and Sapgir - he believes times have changed, now the home of poets remember writing about them, celebrate the anniversary. Andrew remembered Tauris funny meeting with Aleksei Parschikov and noted that the withdrawal of the poet always accidental, that the fact of his physical death is often preceded by a spiritual homes slack dangerous homes confusion. homes He gave the example of "Fall Creek hawk" where slave honor to get to the stratosphere, decomposes into dust. "I do not need to break up, - said Andrei. - We must learn to live there." I stressed that "Russian Gulliver" has grown substantially in the cultural program of Hobokenskoy: and to some extent continues ekspertimenty Sergei Kuryokhin and Prigova, attentive to the poetics Parschikov and Schwartz. The same, but in more detail, I had to do at the meeting with the Americans, where "Gulliver" met with "Talisman" Ed Foster. I told him what happened to me for five years after his return to Russia (good), and how it (good) can be used for the common good. Meanwhile John Hai held a seminar on Mandelstam: besides the reports were read many new translations into English Osip. In the evening homes attended poetry readings poets of Slovenia, Turkey, Romania, China and, of course, from Russia and the United States. Murat Nemet-Nejat, Timothy Liu, Brana Mazetic, Boris Pintar, Joel Lewis, Lisa Bourbeau, Joseph Donahue, Simon Pettet, John High and his charming student, Uche Nduka, Edward Foster, Andrew Gritsman Yang Probshtein Vladimir Druk Eugene homes Ostashevsky Gregory Starikovskii Andrew Tauris, Vladimir Efroimson Gregory Margovsky, Julia Kunin, Ilya Kutik etc. Evening for some reason had to fight me - fortunately, Stevens is a usual thing.
