Releasing Roots: Hebrew Poetry in Translation

Voices Far and Near: Translating Hebrew Poetry

Adriana X. Jacobs, Frankel Institute Fellow

Jacobs is a scholar and translator of modern Hebrew poetry whose academic research is intertwined with her work as a literary translator.  Drawing from her translations of Hebrew poetry—by Leah Goldberg, Vaan Nguyen, and Hezy Leskly, among others—Jacobs will share her experiences as a scholar-translator and the research that her practice of translation has made possible.
