Here is an early announcement of a launch and reading for A Paradise of Hearing (#9 in Joel Newberger’s Swan series), composed across English & Yiddish by Ariel Resnikoff and Jerome Rothenberg.  The full program, still being planned for May 23, will consist of a joint reading by Resnikoff and Rothenberg of Á Paradise of Hearing, followed by selections from Yiddish-“Objectivist” poet Mikhl Likht (with translations by Resnikoff); from Rothenberg's Likht Variations and Poland/1931 (the latter in English and in Yiddish translation); and from Resnikoff’s interlingual Yinglossia & other poems.  The final announcement of the event and program will re-appear here a few days before the actual performance.
