New York City’s Scandinavia House presents the second installment of its “Nordic Authors You Should Know” series with bilingual reading and panel discussion with the Svikaskáld, or Imposter Poets Collective—Thórdís Helgadóttir, Thora Hjörleifsdóttir, Fríða Ísberg, Ragnheiður Harpa Leifsdóttir, Sunna Dís Másdóttir, and Melkorka Ólafsdóttir—moderated by writer and translator Larissa Kyzer. The event will begin with short readings of the poets’ work in both English and in Icelandic, followed by a lively discussion with the authors.

Please send audience questions ahead of the discussion to info@amscan.org. Select questions will be chosen for a Q&A following the conversation. The event is free, but registration is required; please sign up here. 

A limited-edition, letterpress chapbook with a selection of previously untranslated work by the Imposter Poets will be published in conjunction with the event. Werewind: The Selected Imposter Poets, jointly translated by Larissa Kyzer and Meg Matich, can be preordered at https://www.ethandthorn.com/
