The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Simon Schuchat reading.
Simon Schuchat
Simon Schuchat has lived in New York, Chicago, Shanghai, Tokyo, Beijing and Moscow, just to name a few. His translations of Chinese and Russian prose and poetry have appeared in various anthologies and magazines, as well as his own poetry, which has also been published in four collections. According to Kathy Acker, “his poetry doesn’t tell you stuff: it is consciousness.” Soviet Texts, his translations of Moscow conceptualist poet Dmitri Prigov came out in 2020 from Ugly Duckling Presse.
