October, 25 2011 - Ledig House is home to one of the nation's only international writers' residencies. Every year, two dozen critically acclaimed writers and translators from around the world visit the Ledig House, where they work on their individual projects and learn from their fellow writers. And for the past three years, we've been privileged to have some of their residents visit Rochester and read from their work.
This year's event includes: Mads Mygind (Denmark), author of several poetry collections and the founder of the Verbale Pupiller poetry festival; Chika Unigwe (Nigeria/Belgium), a former Rockefeller Foundation Fellow and author of "On Black Sisters Street"; and Anna Mioni (Italy), translator of more than fifty novels and works of non-ficiton.
(This event is presented by Open Letter and University of Rochester Arts & Sciences. It is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts.)
