Two talented poets, translators, and cultural curators—Sarah Riggs & Omar Berrada—will conclude the fall 2010 New Writing Series with a reading and discussion on Thursday, November 18, 2010, at 4:30pm in the Arthur Hill Auditorium in the new addition to Barrows Hall (note atypical venue) on the University of Maine campus. The event, which promises to be of special interest to the Francophone community and to those interested in issues of literary translation, is free and open to the public, though seating is limited.
