Post-Communist Poetry: Moikom Zeqo’s Zodiac

Please join us for the third session of Albanian Literature Today: Meditations on the Craft of Literary Translation Across Genres and Spaces, a monthly virtual series of Hidai Bregu Lectures hosted by DePaul University, where we welcome author and translator Wayne Miller, in conversation with translator and historian Suzana Vuljevic. Miller is co-translator of Moikom Zeqo’s Zodiac (Zephyr, 2015), a bilingual collection of poetry the author wrote in the late 1990s amid the struggles of post-communist transition. In this discussion, Miller will speak about his experience of translating Zeqo’s Zodiac, and together we will examine the impact of the fall of communism on Albanian literature.
