MADISON, Wis. --The second event of the fall FELIX series will bring together two poets from outside of the Wisconsin area to read their work and discuss “little magazines.” It will be held Monday, Oct. 11, at 4:30 p.m. in 126 Memorial Library.

Sawako Nakayasu was born in Yokohama, Japan, and has lived primarily in the United States since the age of six. In addition to poetry, Nakayasu writes prose and performance text, and translates from Japanese to English. She edits Factorial and the translation section of HOW2.

Hermine Meinhard is the poetry editor of 3rd bed and teaches poetry and creative writing at New York University. Her work has appeared in HOW2, Sonora Review, and The Prose Poem, among others.

Named after Felix Pollak (1909-1987), poet and former curator of Special Collections, this developing series invites original, young writers in the area to provide a forum for conversation on the role of “little magazines” in today’s literary culture.
