Sigrid Undset: Writer's Center, Bethesda

Sigrid Undset is a Norwegian literary giant, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928. She also wrote a book of poetry entitled, in English, Youth. Harold P. Hanson translated her poetry and the Bethesda Writer's Center celebrated this great event with a poetry reading.

Before the event, my friend Mary and I had a delightful dinner at the Persimmon in Bethesda across the street from the Center.

Harold, r, and his son Steven, l, read the first poem together - bilingually.

Acclaimed singer and actress Michelle Alexandra read and sang several of the poems in the volume

It was a marvelous evening!
