April 22
6-8pm
Queermunity – 3036 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis
In this month’s Yiddish Cultural Café, writer and translator Reyzl Grace will share insights into her own practice as a contemporary poet working in Yiddish. Drawing on her background in history and linguistics, she will show how her poetry benefits from the unique characteristics of the language to explore and express her experience as a gay Ashkenazi Jewish woman in ways that would not be possible in either English or Hebrew. Participants will then have the opportunity for guided experimentation in incorporating new Yiddish words and concepts into their own writing in either English or Yiddish. (No previous Yiddish-language knowledge required.)
We’ll be gathering at Queermunity on Tuesday, April 22, from 6-8 p.m. and we hope to see you there.
