Face to face: Jack Dehnel in conversation with Karen Kovacik
Poet, novelist, painter, journalist, amateur historian and collector of 19th century photography, Jacek Dehnel follows the tradition of great Polish polymaths. With translator/poet Karen Kovacik, the acclaimed author discusses two books released in the U.S. this year – his novel Lala (Oneworld Publications), a moving family saga set against the turbulent backdrop of 20th century Europe, and his first full collection of poetry in English, Apertures (Zephyr Press), dealing with Internet culture, science, postmodern architecture and gay love.
