An Evening with Radu Vancu

Join acclaimed Romanian poet Dr. Radu Vancu and UT Dallas professor Dr. Sean Cotter for a reading and discussion of Dr. Vancu’s new poetry book, Kaddish. This profound work tells the true story of Hungarian Jewish poet Miklós Radnóti, who was murdered by Nazis during a forced march in May 1944 and left in a mass grave. In 1946, Radnóti's body was exhumed, and with him a notebook with his final poems was found. This event is dedicated to the memory of Radnóti’s English-language translators, Holocaust Studies founder Dr. Zsuzsanna Ozsváth and Professor Frederick Turner.

This event is co-sponsored by the UT Dallas Literature Program, and is being presented free of charge, but we ask that you RSVP online here. Parking details and permits will be emailed to registered guests.

of blessed memory
