Jerome Rothenberg added to ModPo

Here (below—see links) is a new section on Jerome Rothenberg now added to the ModPoPLUS week 7 syllabus. It includes a discussion of the poem “A Paradise of Poets,” and a discussion of Rothenberg’s translation of Paul Celan’s “Night of the Word.” Both these videos were made “on location” in San Francisco. Neither Rothenberg nor Celan are San Francisco poets in any sense, but some connections are explained in the videos.
