USA, Canada / Vancouver Polish People [27]
A few years late, but I’m here now if you’re still around!
Hey! I just moved here recently and have been doing a bit of research. Turns out there is a small community here that’s somewhat active. They’re organizing a talk on Polish post-Solidarność literature at UBC this weekend: greencollege(dot)ubc(dot)ca(slash)whats_on(slash)index(slash)events837 (dot)php. It will feature Bill Johnston (en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org(slash)wiki(slash)Bill_Johnston_%28translator %29), a highly decorated translator who loves Polish writing. I can’t make this particular event but PM me if you’re interested in this sort of stuff and I can let you know when the next one is happening!
As an aside, I met Prof. Johnston at Poland in the Rockies a few years ago (youtube(dot)com(slash)watch?v=-ph-Sd63Leo&t=14s) and must say he was one of the highlights of the entire program (which is saying a lot). Highly recommended!
(Sorry for the jumbled links; it’s not letting me post them in full.)
