Light refreshments will be served, and there will be a discussion in English after the film. 

Discussion moderated by Dr. Jorge García-Granados, UGA Department of Romance Languages (hybrid format)

Trilce, by César Vallejo, was released in October of 1922, a century ago. It was a poetic work without precedent in Spanish. This conversation will feature Dr. Carlos Villacorta, Associate Professor Spanish and Chair of Modern Languages and Classics, University of Maine (via Zoom) and our own Dr. Luis Correa Díaz and Dr. Nicolás Lucero (in 116 Gilbert Hall). They will share some of their impressions of César Vallejo’s poetry.

Dr. Brian Gravely and Dr. Timothy Gupton recently published an article in the journal Isogloss on null-copula constructions in Galician and Asturian. The article is open access.

Brian Gravely is currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish linguistics at Emory University.
