| 7:30 PM | Poetry Reading Adam Zagajewski. A Contemporary Theatre (ACT), 7th & Union. Internationally acclaimed, Zagajewski writes lucid poetry-at once imaginative and insightful-that illuminates the post World War II history he has experienced. A member of the "angry generation of 1968," he started by satirizing, both in verse and prose, the surreal character of the totalitarian state. Since then, his poems have turned increasingly to the relationship between the individual and history. He is the author of several books of poetry including Tremor (1985), Canvas (1991), and Mysticism for Beginners (1998), as well as the memoir Another Beauty (2000). Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz praised," [Zagajewski is] taking the lead in the poetry of my language, a living proof that Polish literature is energy incessantly renewed against all possibilities!" Sponsored by Seattle Arts & Lectures. Student tickets are $7. Regular priced tickets are $14. Tickets are on sale through ACT's box office at (206) 292-7676.
