Mark Statman | Black Tulips: The Selected Poems of José Maria Hinojosa
Changing Hands Bookstore, Friday, January 18 at 7pm
7PM FRIDAY, JANUARY 18 Mark Statman: Black Tulips: The Selected Poems of José Maria Hinojosa National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship recipient Mark Statman visits with his translation of Black Tulips: The Selected Poems of José Maria Hinojosa.
Statman presents the first English translations of the works of a well-known poet of Spain's famed "Generation of '27," which included Pedro Salinas, Rafael Alberti, and Federico García Lorca, among others. Hinojosa's surrealist poetry contrasted with his right-wing politics, causing him to break with the group during the Spanish Republic. He was assassinated by Republican sympathizers in 1936 and his writing disappeared from Spanish culture until the end of the twentieth century.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS Mark Statman'S writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Tin House, Cincinnati Review, The Florida Review, Ping Pong, and American Poetry Review. His work has been featured on Poetry Daily, as well as on The Bob Edwards Show, The Leonard Lopate Show, and PBS' New York Voices. He is the author of Listener in the snow, and, with Christian McEwen, edited The alphabet of the trees: A Guide to Nature Writing and his essays, poetry, and translations have appeared in nine other anthologies. With Pablo Medina, he translated Federico Garcia Lorca's Poet In New York. Statman's most recent collaboration is with the composer Dennis Tobenski. A recipient of awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Writers Project, Statman is an associate professor of Literary Studies at Eugene Lang College of The New School.
