The work of a fondly remembered faculty member is revived in an edition that foregrounds issues of immigration and exile.<\/h2>\n

Poet Hyam Plutzik joined the English department<\/a> at the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½<\/a> as an instructor following his discharge from the Army after World War II. He remained at the University for the rest of his too-brief life, organizing poetry workshops, giving readings on campus, and in 1961, accepting the title of Deane Professor of Rhetoric and Poetry, just one year before his death.<\/p>\n

A three-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry\u2014for Aspects of Proteus<\/em> (1949), Apples from Shinar <\/em>(1959), and Horatio<\/em> (1961)\u2014Plutzik is finding new readers almost 60 years after his death with a new bilingual edition of his work. 32 Poems\/32 Poemas<\/em><\/a> (Suburbano Ediciones, 2021) offers a selection of his work in Spanish and the original English.<\/p>\n

Fourteen translators have provided the translations, and the volume is edited by George Henson, an assistant professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Richard Blanco, the inaugural poet for President Barack Obama\u2019s first inauguration, provides the foreword.<\/p>\n

Writes Blanco: \u201cPlutzik and I meet at the junction of this irony and our respective obsessions: he finds home in his longing to transcend, whereas I find transcendence in my longing for home. Through the timeless grace and art of poetry, my 1968 Miami merges with Plutzik\u2019s 1911 Brooklyn, our parents become immigrants from the same country, and our languages blend as one, \u2018in the one, shadowed sea where all things melt\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plutzik\u2019s legacy also lives on at Rochester, most notably in the Plutzik Reading Series<\/a>, which was established in 1962.<\/p>\n

Guest readers have included James Baldwin, Rita Dove, Allen Ginsberg, and Adrienne Rich, as well as Rochester\u2019s own Jennifer Grotz, Anthony Hecht, and James Longenbach. University Libraries are home to the Plutzik Library for Contemporary Writing<\/a>, opened in 2000, and his collected papers are held in the Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation.<\/p>\n
