Join us this Friday, April 24th at 7 p.m. for part three of our National Poetry Month reading series featuring a dual reading from Elizabeth Harris and Marco Candida. Elizabeth will read a selection of translated work (including some of Marco's) and Marco will read his own work in Italian.
Marco Candida is from Tortona, Italy, and is considered a rising star in Italian fiction. In the last two years, he has published three novels and a story collection with such prestigious presses as Sironi Editore. Candida is currently a research/creative scholar at UND, where he is working with Elizabeth to translate his second novel, Il diario dei sogni (Dream Diary). He was also a featured writer at UND's 2009 Writers Conference.
Elizabeth Harris is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at UND. Some of her recent translations, stories by Giulio Mozzi, appear or are forthcoming in The Literary Review, The Missouri Review, and The Kenyon Review.
