Co-presented with COPPER CANYON PRESS, CONSULADO DE MÉXICO, and the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. This bilingual poetry reading features one of Mexico's major poets, David Huerta, the author of nineteen collections, now with his first major translated work to be published in the U.S. Published by Copper Canyon Press, Before Saying Any of the Great Words: Selected Poems, is a bilingual volume that finally introduces this esteemed figure to readers up here. Translator Mark Schafer will also be on hand. "David Huerta's verses ... are ornate, cerebral, bookish, apocalyptic to the point of abstraction." - Los Angeles Times Book Review. David Huerta also has a number of poems in the acclaimed Copper Canyon anthology of contemporary Mexican work, Reversible Monuments. This should all be a great pleasure. Free, no tickets necessary. The Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison and Spring). Special $5 parking coupons for the Central Library garage are available on a limited basis for those attending the reading. For more information, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, the Seattle Public Library at (206) 386-4636, or see www.spl.org.
