Please join the LSU Department of English this Thursday, April 14 for a talk by Olivia Loksing Moy, Associate Professor at City University of New York, Lehman College, who will deliver a lecture titled “Keats’ Chameleon, Cortázar’s Axolotl: Vida y Cartas de John Keats” in 102 Allen Hall from 4:00-5:15. Moy will treat the Argentinian author Julio Cortázar (1914-1984), a perspicacious reader and avid lover of all things Keats. She will set his translations in the context of Keats's Hispanophone reception and the surprising Latin American afterlife of Keats's poems. Professor Moy will also be hosting a seminar on literary translation:  "The Cortázar Continuum: Translation from Rabassa to Blackburn" from 1:30-2:45, in Allen 202.
