Sylva Fischerová

Monday, April 12, 5:15 pm
Helmut Stern Auditorium

Sylva Fischerová was born in Prague in 1963. She has published six volumes of poems in Czech, including The Tremor of Racehorses: Selected Poems and The Swing in the Middle of Chaos: Selected Poems, which have been translated into English. Translator Stuart Friebert writes of her work that her “knowledge of human history, the ways she moves in and out of historical events, with an understanding and loving eye turned on our frailties as well as our corruptive tendencies, against the backdrop of her commanding sense of space and time, ‘makes beauty from monsters.’”
