Geoffrey Brock and Padma Viswanathan II

In the second half of this interview with poet Geoffrey Brock (shown) and novelist Padma Viswanathan, the husband and wife couple discusses their shared interest in translation. Brock reads a translation of the Italian poet Cesare Pavese from his award-winning book Disaffections: Complete Poems 1930–1950, while Viswanathan reveals how she came to discover an abiding fascination with the language, music, dance and literature of Brazil. Brock also reads more poems from his 2014 book Voices Bright Flags, winner of the ninth Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize, and talks about the difference between that collection and his first book Weighing Light, winner of the 2005 Criterion poetry Prize.
