PennSound Podcasts

Anselm Hollo, the widely admired Finnish poet and translator, died on January 29, 2013. Hollo translated poetry and belles-lettres from Finnish, German, Swedish and French into English and was one of the early translators of Allen Ginsberg into German and Finnish. Hollo taught creative writing in eighteen different institutions, among them SUNY Buffalo, the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and the University of Colorado at Boulder; and starting in 1985, he taught in the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University. For the 30th episode of the PennSound podcasts series, Nick DeFina and Amaris Cuchanski have put together an anthology of Hollo recordings.
