    Come hear poems by the most beloved poets of Italy, Korea, Chile, Germany, France, Poland, Brazil, China, and Russia--read in both their original language and in brand new and beautiful translations. The most famous poems by Rilke, Neruda, Rimbaud, Akhmatova, Mistral, Yun Dong-ju, Leopardi, and others have been brought into English by students at Penn who will each read a poem and (DON'T MISS THIS) cook a delicacy from their hometown or country--be it Brazilian pastries, Sicilian pasta, or ham biscuits from rural Virginia--for the potluck celebration we'll have afterward. All welcome to the feast of poems and the feast of food.
